Facts on the water consumption for growing raw materials
The cultivation of organic cotton requires 91% less water than the cultivation of conventional cotton. Sustainably cultivated forests from which we source our Tencel and eco-viscose have a positive influence on the water balance in these regions. As part of the natural water cycle, they do not need extra water for growth.
The sustainably cultivated forests contribute to the stabilization of the water supply and protect against both flooding and drought when there is little rainfall. It is therefore also important that the water management of forests that supply the raw materials to our supply chain be efficient. This is also upheld by the pulp suppliers.
