"GOTS covers the entire supply chain from farm to finished garment, requiring organic fibers and strict environmental and social standards."
"Pact offers women a strong foundation for building a sustainable wardrobe. Each garment is crafted from GOTS-certified organic cotton in Fair Trade Certified factories."
"Their organic cotton process uses 81% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton farming, a meaningful difference given that a single conventional cotton T-shirt typically requires around 2,700 liters."
Americans discard 81.5 pounds of clothing annually, with two-thirds ending in landfills due to fast fashion. Textile waste increased over 50% from 2000 to 2018, while federal agencies lack a coordinated strategy. Consumers face challenges in finding sustainable brands. Recognized certifications like GOTS, Fair Trade, and SA8000 ensure responsible practices. Pact is highlighted for its GOTS-certified organic cotton garments, which use significantly less water and energy compared to conventional cotton.
