Sustainable Cotton Project

Since 1996, the Sustainable Cotton
Project has been dedicated to the
production and promotion of
sustainably grown domestic cotton
fiber. In the field we work with
innovative growers to produce a
high-quality fiber without using
the most toxic pesticides and
herbicides. And, in the industry we
connect growers, manufacturers
and consumers to develop a
Cleaner Cotton™ supply chain.
