Organic textiles are fabrics made from natural fibers that are produced without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or fertilizers. These textiles often come from plants like cotton, linen, and hemp, or animal sources such as wool and silk. The organic farming methods used to grow these materials promote biodiversity and soil health, making them more environmentally friendly.
The production of organic textiles also emphasizes sustainable practices, including water conservation and reduced energy consumption. Certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) ensure that the entire supply chain, from farming to manufacturing, adheres to strict organic and ethical standards.
