COTTOVER
In spring 2015, we launched the brand Cottover – a complete eco-labeled garment collection certified by Nordic
Ecolabel and GOTS. The cotton is organic, which means it is grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and Fairtrade-certified
which ensures fair economic and social conditions for the cotton farmers. The polyester is recycled from old PET-bottles and we have
applied social and environmental criteria throughout the whole supply chain – from raw material to finished garment. The garments
have also been independently quality tested in order to pass the requirements of Nordic Ecolabel. We are proud to be able to offer
a complete assortment of sustainable clothing, cooperating with four different third party-certifications - Nordic Ecolabel, GOTS,
Faitrade and Oeko Tex.
