Organic cotton

Organic cotton is defined when the cotton is grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It is 100% natural and vegan, it does not produce any harm to either the people farming it or the people living in its proximity. Organic cotton is not only not genetically modified and sustainable, but it is also compostable. Compared to normal cotton organic cotton has:

  • 46% less impact on global warming,
  • 70% less impact on water and land acidification,
  • 91% less usage of surface and underground waters

Recycled polyester

Polyester can be either synthetic or natural, while natural polyester can biodegrade, most of the used polyester is synthetic polyester and therefore not biodegradable. Polyester is mostly used in the fashion or as commodities (such as PET bottles), these two types are not biodegradable and they pollute in great quantities, either as a whole or as micro-plastics. Recycling polyester is not the answer to its pollution capacity, but it is a good way to close its life cycle. By recycling already existing polyester there is remarkable energy saving and less polyester enters the oceans or lands. When talking about recycled polyester it mostly refers to the recycling of plastic bottles and used fishnets.

Global Organic Textile Standards

The GOTS is one of the most difficult standards to maintain, in fact, the requirements are really strict and binding. In particular, the GOTS expects that the whole supply chain follows specific requirements in regard to human and environment sustainability during its supply chain.  GOTS “defines organic textiles as containing a minimum content of organic fibers, being processed with the least possible environmental impact, under strict controls on natural and synthetic chemical inputs and with respect for labor conditions.”

Third party printing companies' certifications

Nitemus relies on a family company based in the UK.  Among all the possible companies this was not only chosen for their sustainable interest but also due to their printing method and ink safety. The company uses OEKO-TEX-approved ink for its printing.
