wobabybasics’ choice to use organic cottonpersonal choice - research others beforehand

and found that organic cotton was the most natural and non-toxic fabric that could be used.

but cotton not without it’s fault and environmental impact - high land use. 3.5 acres compared to 2.5 acres for

conventional cotton, 0.5 acres for tencel, 1.5 acres for hemp.BUT supports healthy eco systems and improves soil quality

3.5 acres of land per ton of fiber

Page 23: Textile Industry Pollution and Wobabybasics

but cotton not without it’s fault and environmental impact - high water use. 550 gallons in partially irrigated/rainfed, up to

700 gallons in irrigated and as low as 10 gallons in rainfed.comparison: tencel uses 155 gallons and recycled polyester

nearly zero water use

550 gallons of water used per pound of fiber
