The Partnership for Sustainable Textiles has collaborated with Organic Cotton Accelerator to focus on practical solutions to improve the impact of organic cotton, share resources and capacity-building for its efficient and beneficial cultivation and develop supporting tools for brands and retailers to provide relevant information for sustainable sourcing.
Through this strategic cooperation, the two groups aim to mobilize the support of brands and retailers to secure organic cotton at the farm level and deliver tangible benefits to farmers. They also aim to increase their share of sustainable cotton by 2025 to 70 per cent and the proportion of organic cotton contained in it to 20 per cent.
Based in Germany, The Partnership for Sustainable Textiles is a multi-stakeholder initiative with members from the fields of business, politics and the civil society with the objective of achieving social, environmental and economic improvements all along the textile supply chain.
