Organic or biological cotton means cotton that comes from non-genetically modified plants and is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides, but only natural products. Its production also promotes and enhances biodiversity and biological cycles in cotton plantations that must meet the requirements imposed by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).

The aim of GOTS is to establish at an international level the requirements that textiles must have to obtain the status of "organic". This concerns both the production process, as well as that of harvesting and processing. In general, we can say that the production of organic cotton includes: the use of fertilizers of animal and vegetable origin; the elimination of parasites using antagonistic insects; the removal of weeds with tractors, hoes or by hand; the exclusive use of seeds resulting from at least four germinations in the absence of chemical treatments.

The philosophy behind this product is to work with nature and not against it, to live better.

MANUFACTURER INFO

The CusciniBio company first took root in Forlì, in 1980 where, in the garage of their home, they began to work the materials transforming them into handmade cushions and mattresses. The most used materials were wool and cotton which were worked by hand to preserve their integrity and properties and combined with natural cotton and linen fabrics.

Today as then, CusciniBio is a family-run company that selects organic materials in harmony with nature to offer a healthy rest that regenerates body and spirit.

All products, pillows, mattresses, futons, quilts, sheets, are GMO free, free of chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers out of respect for humans, animals, the earth and aquifers.

In the era of globalization, choosing a local or Italian product gives artisans the opportunity to continue the tradition of the craft.

The CusciniBio company has obtained the international GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard certification since 2013. Their products labeled as “Organic” have a content of natural fibers from organic farming greater than 95% , do not contain and do not release dangerous substances such as heavy metals or carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic substances.

In the manufacturing of these GOTS certified organic textile products, practices, techniques and/or technologies have been adopted that allow for a reduction in chemicals, water and energy, while respecting workers' rights throughout the production chain.
