This strong commitment of the European cotton sector to sustainability responds not only to the growing global concern about the environmental impact of all human actions, nor only to consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. It responds to the industry’s firm beliefs and convictions that designing a more sustainable world is possible.
But how do we do it? In addition to making more responsible use of natural resources, and reducing the use of chemicals, European cotton contributes to designing a more sustainable world in many ways:

All this places European cotton, of Greek and Spanish origin, as a global benchmark in terms of sustainability.
Therefore, when you choose European cotton, you are supporting a sustainable production model, based on the most ethical and environmentally friendly practices.
