At Organic Crew, we follow a 100% holistic approach that maintains a high sustainable and ethical standard. We strictly use organic materials that are sustainably sourced and produced, including GOTS certified organic cotton, Australian merino wool and pure cashmere.
Microplastics are a threatening issue to our planet. 60% of your clothes are made from plastics, including polyester, nylon and acrylic. This creates poor quality and short-lasting clothing, that are thrown away and result in landfill. 9% of the microplastics in the ocean are due to textiles and clothing*.
Our manufactures are held to a high standard to ensure the processes are environmentally friendly and our workers are treated ethically and experience a healthy workplace. Majority of our clothing is produced locally in Melbourne. All our suppliers promote responsible farming and are proud of their records in lowering the environmental impact. We are able to oversee the entire production line from seed to store, ensuring sustainable and ethical practices for the people and the planet.
On this World Environment Day, as consumers and producers, we can combat against plastic pollution in the fashion industry. Choosing sustainable clothing that will last and leave zero impact on the people and the environment. Collaborating to choose our planet, and fight for it’s health.
