Material

Earth Totes offers sustainable products made with organic cotton to, amongst other things,  reduce single-use plastic bags and combat plastic pollution. We align with the goals of the United Nations Environment Programme. Both organic and conventional cotton are better for the environment than plastic alternatives.

  • Environmental benefits of organic cotton: organic cotton is grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified seeds, using 91% less water than conventional cotton. It promotes biodiversity, improves soil quality, and conserves water, while emitting 46% less greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Issues with conventional cotton: conventional cotton contributes to soil degradation, water contamination, and harm to biodiversity. It requires significant water and extensive use of pesticides, leading to concerns about water scarcity and environmental harm.
  • Consumer choices and certifications: consumer choice between organic and conventional cotton often reflects cost and product features, but both indicate a commitment to reducing plastic use. Organic cotton is typically certified by organizations like GOTS and is more expensive due to lower yields and higher labour costs.

Benefits
