I found this article when I was researching around the web and thought it might be of interest to you.........especially point No.1.
An organic label can be slapped on anything that contains as little as 5% organic fibre and that processing and manufacturing does not always follow the same rigourous criteria.
Nalan Collection products are produced from 100% organic cotton fibre and the complete manufacturing process is fully compliant with organic requirements. The dyes we use are accredited and the environment the garments are produced in a sweatshop Free environment and all workers are paid a fair wage and treated with respect.
Make sure you KNOW how your 'organic' products are PRODUCED after they leave the organic farm!
