Fashion manufacturer MetaWear, in collaboration with Cradle to Cradle initiative Fashion Positive, is set to offer the first U.S.-based Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Silver organic cotton men’s and women’s T-shirts. The products have met the highest standards in terms of chemical safety, water effluent standards, compostability and renewable energy production.
MetaWear has developed T-shirts made from 100% compostable and certfieid organic cotton. Located in Fairfax, Virginia, they are also the first and only Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified turnkey factory in the USA offering the full package of manufacturing, dyeing, and finishing.
