FAIRTRADE
Fairtrade isn’t charity. It’s an okay way to trade. Farmers growing Neutral® cotton receive a fair price for their crops. With the Fairtrade minimum price and Fairtrade Premium, they can invest in better tools or send their kids to school.
EU ECOLABEL
We treat and reuse wastewater and reduce and recycle waste. We only use the most environmentally friendly dyes and continuously innovate the way we make clothing. All according to the highest industry requirements demanded by the EU Ecolabel.
NEUTRAL® RESPONSIBILITY
Instead of using conventional energy Neutral® products are manufactured using renewable energy. That way, Neutral® Responsibility helps reduce CO2 and is beneficial for both local environment and global climate.

RECYCLED COTTON
A RECYCLED COLLECTION BY NEUTRAL®
Excess materials from our production find new purpose in Neutral’s collection – Recycled Cotton. It’s high-quality basic wear made from 60% cotton waste from our own production, and 40% recycled polyester made of plastic waste collected in India. Neutral’s Recycled Cotton Collection is certified EU Ecolabel, SA8000, Oeko-Tex and made solely on renewable energy like the rest of our styles.
OUR COTTON WASTE GAIN NEW LIFE - AND THIS IS HOW. The cotton cut-offs from our production are first separated by colour at the production tables. Then shredded into crude fibres which are mixed with recycled polyester, and then re-spun into new yarn. The new life cycle of our cotton has begun! By recycling our cotton waste, we prolong the life of our cotton fibres and require fewer resources than producing new yarn.
And as always – it’s made with certified responsibility. AGAIN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN.

OKAY FACT #2
MORE SUGAR PLEASE
Instead of spraying with toxic chemicals, Neutral® cotton farmers use biological pesticides like sugar water. Ants love sugar and now have a new best friend and food supply in the cotton plant, which they’ll defend from intruders like beetles and pest attacks. Okay ants. Okay crop protection!

OKAY FACT #4
FAIRTRADE ISN’T CHARITY
Indian farmers have a hard time making a living from selling cotton due to weak bargaining positions and highly volatile prices in the global cotton market. Fairtrade complements market mechanisms, giving Neutral® farmers a fair chance to improve their lives. A fair deal is an okay deal!
SWEATS
OKAY FACT #5 HANDS ON
In India, cotton is mostly picked the old school way by hand. Conventional farming needs toxic chemicals. Picking that with your fingers isn’t smart. But with organic cotton it’s completely okay!

CONVERTING CONVENTIONAL FARMERS INTO ORGANIC COTTON SINCE 2017
Tiger Cotton® works to protect the biodiversity, people and planet by converting conventional farmers to fully certified organic production. By choosing Tiger Cotton®, you choose to support small-scale Indian cotton farmers’ journey from conventional cotton into organic cotton and thereby directly influence the supply of organic cotton brought into the industry. All the while protecting the Bengal Tigers in the area from toxic chemicals and pesticides while they wander between nature reserves.
JUST THE BEGINNING. So far, Tiger Cotton® has converted more than 4,000 cotton farmers into organic cotton production. But it’s just the beginning! We are expanding the project and are continuously looking for new farmers to join our Tiger Cotton®-Initiative.
Tiger Cotton® is high quality label free basic wear made from 100% organic cotton in conversion and certified with EU Ecolabel, SA8000, GOTS in Conversion, Oeko-Tex and made on solar and wind energy only.
IT’S OKAY FOR THE TIGER, THE FARMERS AND THE BIODIVERSITY. CERTAINLY, OKAY WITH US.
TIGER CORRIDOR
HOW WE HELP PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR BIODIVERSITY
Below you can see a map of our first Tiger Cotton projoct in Madhya Pradesh. When the tiger wanders from one nature reserve to the other the cotton fields function as an important tiger corridor. Without the toxic impact of pesticides in cotton farming the tiger, the wildlife, and the farmer can thrive. THAT’S MORE THAN OKAY!
