Planet
The use of organic cotton (Global Organic Textile Standard-certified) protects the environment and also farmers who may suffer ill health when coming into contact with the intensive fertilisers and pesticides used in conventional cotton production.
The organic cotton this T-shirt is made from was planted and harvested by hand, in a region where cotton farming in predominantly rain fed.
Factory where the T-shirt is cut and sewn is powered entirely by renewable solar and wind energy (most of which comes from 30 massive wind turbines).
This T-shirt was digitally printed with water based inks that are GOTS certified and have an ECO Passport from Okeo-Tex. Water based inks are more environmentally friendly than plastisol inks which may contain PVC and phthalates that can be harmful to the environment. Digital printing uses less water and creates less wastewater during the printing and fixing stages than screen-printing.
Areas for development
In India, where this T-shirt was made, the minimum wage is below the actual living cost. Lars Gödeke Studio’s sourcing partner are a member of the Fair Wear Foundation and have begun a Living Wage pilot project. Brothers We Stand would like to see this project extended so that all workers in the supply chain can receive a living wage.
