Our organic cotton is planted and harvested by hand, without mechanization, and because organic farming does not use petroleum based chemical fertilizer or pesticides, it is less reliant on fossil fuels.

Organically farmed cotton is better than conventionally farmed cotton because it uses no chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides to produce, protecting local habitats, insects and wildlife, and the farmers which grow it. It also uses significantly less water and preserves soil quality.

EarthPositive® apparel is made as ethically as possible. The manufacturing facilities are audited annually by the Fair Wear Foundation, and are licensed by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisation.

EarthPositive® is made in manufacturing facilities powered by green renewable energy, from low-impact raw materials. The carbon footprint of EarthPositive® products has been reduced by some 90% compared to conventionally produced cotton garments, and the calculations were certified under the PAS2050 standard by the Carbon Trust in the UK between 2007-2009.

Climate Neutral means our industrial greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced to pre-industrial levels through low-impact (low emission) organic agriculture and carbon neutral industrial manufacturing, achieved through substituting energy use from fossil fuel powered power stations with clean renewable energy from wind turbines and solar power.

No Carbon Offsets

Carbon neutral is a term most often used to describe a state where CO2e emissions have been negated entirely by the purchase of intangible ‘carbon offsets’. This represents the ‘lowest quality’ means of achieving carbon neutral status and is discarded by EarthPositive as a credible method. The only course of action is to change business-as-usual practices and genuinely reduce any emissions that contribute to global warming. This can only be achieved by the reduction of on-site energy consumption, and a switch from fossil fuel to renewable energy.
