ONLY 1 % IS ORGANIC

Did you know??

It takes three years for conventional farmers to convert their land to certified organic. That’s how long it takes to clear the soil of its chemicals and pesticides. So, how much is organic cotton in the world?  

In 2015/2016, Organic cotton makes up less than 1 per cent of overall cotton production and 3.3 per cent of the production of preferred cotton. Of that, one percent consists of organic Fair Trade and organic CmiA. Fair trade makes up 1.3 per cent and CmiA makes up 8.7 per cent of the preferred cotton market. 

Therefore, Buldan cotton makes a huge difference when it comes to choosing in between regular Walmart towels and real organic ones.
