About Mini-Organic &, Why Choose Organic
If you are planning to raise your child in a natural and environmentally friendly way, then organic baby clothes are an important factor.
Crisp white cotton is thought of as a very natural fabric, but it is actually more environmentally-damaging than most synthetic textiles! Cotton is one of the most environmentally damaging crops grown in the world. Because it is not a food crop, cotton is routinely sprayed with an even heavier cocktail of pesticide poisons than normal agricultural crops. In developing countries, more than 50% of all pesticides used in agriculture are sprayed onto cotton fields.
The result is widescale water pollution, chronic illness in farmworkers, and devastating effects on wildlife. In industrial countries like the USA, cancer rates in cotton producing states are significantly higher than neighbouring states. Added to this the effects of bleaching the final fabric, and possibly spraying it with a fire-retardant, and your 'natural look' garment seems distinctly unnatural.
In conventional cotton clothing, each t-shirt that is produced uses approximately 150g of a range of toxic chemicals, such as Paraquat and Parathion, in fact, The Environment Protection Agency considers 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton as 'probable' or 'known' human carcinogens, and it is estimated that less than 10% of the chemicals applied to cotton accomplish their task, the rest are absorbed into the plant, air, soil, water and eventually, our bodies.
Mini-Organic's organic cotton is manufactured from organically grown cotton plants. No chemical pesticides or fertilisers are used to grow it and the final cloth is unbleached and dyed with natural plant dyes.
At Mini-Organic, we believe it is especially important that baby clothes are free from toxic residues as their skin is 5 times thinner than our own, allowing toxins to penetrate the skin much more easily.
Mini-Organics' Cut4Cloth range is made in India using organic cotton certified by AGRECO, the rest of their clothing range is certified organic by SKAL, very reputable European Organic Certifiers. The Certification is based on the growing and the entire production cycle (spining, weaving, washing, etc. has to be done in an environmentally responsible way), the dyeing is carried out to Oeko Tex 100 standards, which ensures that the dyeing and finishing of the fabric is also carried out in an environmentally responsible way.
