Material

The Knowledge Cotton brand uses materials such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, organic linen, organic wool, Tencel Lyocell or synthetic leather.

Dyeing

The brand guarantees that the dyes used in the production are not harmful to the environment or the workers who handle them. The European Union's REACH regulation, which regulates the use of chemicals, is complied with.

Production

The brand is responsible for ensuring that workers throughout the supply chain have good working conditions that are controlled. At the same time, it draws attention to the problem of child labour and the persistence of poverty. In some countries, workers earn so little that they cannot meet the basic needs of their families. That's why their children start working to increase the family income. The brand strives to ensure that workers are provided with adequate wages that are sufficient to meet the basic needs of the family.

Supply chain knowledge

The brand knows its suppliers up to level 3 - therefore it knows the supplier of raw materials.
