Today, october 7th 2022, the most important textile and fashion fiber is celebrated – cotton! On this special day, which was launched by the United Nations in 2019, the aim is to inform the world about the social and economic importance of natural fibres.
Events are taking place worldwide today to shed light on the relevance of fiber. Above all, responsible clothing and sustainability are in the foreground. Cotton is grown in over 70 countries around the world and is one of the most important industries in many developing countries. That is why it is so important to know where the raw material comes from and what the social conditions of the workers are.
Cotton has become an integral part of the textile industry because around 75% of all textiles consist of this raw material. The reason for this is the special properties of cotton.
The soft and skin-friendly fiber is breathable and absorbent. In addition, the small cotton balls bring hardly any weight on the scales – perfect for the clothing industry. The fiber is very easy to clean and can be washed in the washing machine even at high temperatures.
The particularly skin-friendly, high-quality cotton fabrics used at Olaf Benz are sourced from German manufacturers. The focus here is on regionality and sustainability. Short transport routes, sustainable production and certified fabrics characterize these two manufacturers.
To celebrate the day, you will receive a 10% - 30% discount on cotton and cotton blend series from Olaf Benz.
