Organic Cotton - Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, all of which are derived from petroleum and none of which are naturally occurring. This makes organic cotton a healthier alternative for people and planet than conventionally grown cotton.
Recycled Polyester - This product is made from recycled plastic bottles. Approximately 31% of plastic bottles produced in the United States are made from a material called PolyEthylene Terephtalate, ''PET'' or ''PETE.'' Usually clear or green, the plastic is mostly used for consumer goods such as soda bottles and food jars, but once recycled and processed, it has a wide variety of eco-friendly applications. While recycling is not the end-all, be-all solution for ridding the world of the plastic bag beast, it is a sustainable path for plastic products and takes less energy to produce than traditional polyester. Plus, it means less plastic bottles in landfills, not bad.
