It encourages biodiversity and leads to the extra soft feel of our products.<\/p><p>Less inputs also means less water, but even organic cotton is still a thirsty crop. So where you grow it matters. The fields that grow the organic cotton for our products are in the North of India, where the monsoons fill reservoirs that supply almost all the water needed.<\/p><ul><li><p>Rain water, co planting, insect traps and cow poo<\/p><\/li><li><p>Certified organic cotton<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>Processing<\/strong><\/h2><p>Organic cotton looks like a little bit of cotton wool bursting from a dry flower. The petals and seeds need to be removed before it can be spun. Harvested organic cotton is taken to ginning plants by camel or by truck. From there the raw material is separated out into the useful fibres which are sent to be spun. The waste seeds are pressed into cakes which is sold for organic cow feed. Vegetable oil is squeezed out last for use in food products. Every part of the plant is used.<\/p><p>Cotton farmers get a price for their cotton which is guaranteed by the regional government. Great quality batches get higher prices as ginners compete for the best stuff.<\/p><ul><li><p>Energy in<\/p><\/li><li><p>Cow food out<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>Ohzone T-shirts are proud to be using 100% certified organic cotton.
