Claiming sustainability and being sustainable are two different things. For instance "C&A" is making a lot of things from "Bio Cotton", but you if search for Bio Cotton on their website https://www.c-and-a.com/uk/en/corporate/company/sustainability/bio-cotton/ https://www.c-and-a.com/uk/en/corporate/company/sustainabili... you find this:
"BIO COTTON is all of that. It guarantees you that no genetically modified seeds are used, it supports farmers, saves the environment and feels good for you and your loved ones."
Maybe I am biased (I am not opposed to GMO), but I have doubts that this is the best way to be environment friendly.
- benj111 7y agoOff topic but I remember C&A from back in the day. (edit: They pulled out of the UK market in 2000) I don't know why the address has UK in it, because the country select doesn't include UK, and the webshop is in Euros.
- ehnto 7y agoAll cotton is bio cotton, isn't it? It's not the sustainability or GMO status of cotton that concerns me about fast fashion but the plastic fibres flaking away into the general environment. I think that we have no choice but to seek sustainability from farming, as plastic is not sustainable from any angle. The alternatives to petroleum plastics are organic, so farming again.
