Dyeing cotton organically is a climate-conscious way to reduce the environmental impact of production. In our organic dyeing process, the waste water is purified in a partially biological way and then reused. In this case, biological means that we add fertilizer in the form of cow manure to the waste water. This adds useful bacteria that naturally digest the chemicals before they sink to the bottom. The purified water still contains a certain amount of salt, and therefore most of it is reused for new dyeing where salt is needed. The remaining water is transported to a "solar bed" where it evaporates before the residual salt is taken care of. Our production takes place in a part of the world where the availability of clean water cannot be taken for granted. Therefore, this is an incredibly important part of our work to have as little negative environmental impact as possible.

There are many benefits of cotton. Cotton textiles can be washed and dried at high temperatures without being damaged or degraded. The material feels soft and smooth against the skin and has excellent absorbency. In addition, cotton fiber is a material that breathes and helps maintain an optimal body temperature. It is no coincidence that interior textiles such as bed linen, bath towels, towels and bathmats are often made of cotton.

Did you know, for example, that the material cotton can absorb up to ten percent of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet? Overall, the material can absorb as much as 80 percent of its own weight in moisture. Cotton is also the only material that actually gets stronger when wet. The production is certified according to:
