What is organic cotton?

Organic cotton refers to cotton produced in agricultural production, mainly using organic fertilizers, biological control of diseases and pests, and natural cultivation management, without the use of chemical products. It is produced naturally and pollution-free from seeds to agricultural products.

In the production process of organic cotton, it is not only necessary to cultivate cotton with necessary conditions such as light, heat, water, and soil, but also has specific requirements for the cleanliness of farmland soil environment, irrigation water quality, air environment, etc. In the production and spinning process, it is also required to be pollution-free, have ecological, green, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
