The organic cotton t-shirt, essential for eco-responsible dressing

Discover the organic cotton t-shirt, a more ecological alternative that allows you to reduce your carbon footprint while keeping a trendy look.

We are all aware that the environment is deteriorating and that the textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the clothes we buy.

Besides ecological problems (transport, materials, waste, etc.), the textile industry is also affected by ethical problems. The organic cotton t-shirt has several advantages to preserve the environment and improve the living conditions of workers.

An eco-responsible alternative

How is the organic cotton t-shirt different from the classic cotton t-shirt? The organic cotton t-shirt is made with organic cotton jersey. It is free of dye, synthetic material, and chemicals. In addition, it is manufactured according to a more responsible (reduced carbon footprint) and ethical (improved working conditions) process. Sometimes every step of the design is done by hand, in an artisanal way, but this is not a general rule. Labels certify the quality of organic cottons (ex: OCS 100, GOTS, OCS Blended, etc.)

The organic cotton models offered by Colizée are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified. This international certification no longer appears on the regulatory sheets due to the GOTS labeling policy, but remains a safe bet for choosing an ecological garment. This label verifies that production, design and distribution meet demanding criteria. All stages of the process are covered by this certification to have an ecological and ethical t-shirt.

The key guarantees of this label are:

• Environmentally friendly production and processing processes
• Respect and improvement of working conditions
• Promotion of the use of organic fibers
• The ban on hazardous inputs such as toxic heavy metals, aromatic solvents, etc.

Quality, soft and resistant t-shirts

Organic cotton t-shirts are very soft, which makes them very comfortable to wear. In addition, the fabric is dense and thicker than on many classic t-shirts, which makes organic cotton t-shirts more robust. This strength gives them a long life, especially since the seams are carefully designed. With these carefully done finishes, the seams are not likely to "roll" and the t-shirt will not show any change over the washings.

The organic cotton t-shirt is not only environmentally friendly, but it also encourages more responsible consumption. It allows you to buy less and better! A great investment that will lead to more reasoned purchases. Buying your organic cotton t-shirt more expensive than a classic t-shirt encourages you to respect your clothing better and wear it much longer.

Tips:

• To wash your organic cotton t-shirt (and all your clothes for that matter), choose a delicate wash program at 30° and a low spin.
• After washing, let the t-shirt air dry or in the dryer. For a white t-shirt, you should prefer sun drying while for brightly colored t-shirts, lay them in the shade so as not to fade the colors.
