- for the production of one t-shirt, up to 2000 liters of water are used in cotton production. due to the novel banana fiber, no additional water is used, because banana plants grow naturally and we only use them after harvesting!
- cotton is a plant susceptible to diseases and pests. no other agricultural crop uses as many plant poisons as cotton.
- 99 percent of cotton farmers live in developing countries and produce 75 percent of the world’s cotton crop. the use of pesticides makes many farmers ill, and in most cases the income is just enough to survive.
- our banana fibre is obtained from organic banana cultivation. no pesticides or chemicals are used for this. as banana trees only have one life cycle, they are disposed of after harvesting. this is where we come in!
