Organic cotton is better for the producers and the ecosystem in which it is produced. Instead of more toxic pesticides and fertilisers, co-planting and insect traps are used along with the special ingredient - cow poo. It encourages biodiversity and leads to the extra soft feel of our products.<\/p>
Less inputs also means less water, but even organic cotton is still a thirsty crop. So where you grow it matters. The fields that grow the organic cotton for our products are in the North of India, where the monsoons fill reservoirs that supply almost all the water needed.<\/p>
Teemill products are certified with OEKO-TEX\u2019s Standard 100, meaning that no hazardous chemicals are used or discharged during the printing of our products. The use of technology has enabled this transformation. By printing the products in real-time to order, we only make what people need and when they need it.<\/p>
Similarly, software runs the reverse logistics that enable the products sold on Teemill stores to be recovered and remade when worn out. From this integrated and digitised supply chain, efficiencies are created and the cost savings can be reinvested in the facilities, working conditions and team. <\/p>"},"borderRadius":{"id":84133838,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":84133839,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":84133840,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":84133841,"value":null},"template":{"id":84133842,"value":"text"},"padding":{"id":84133843,"value":"3"},"fullWidth":{"id":84133844,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":84133845,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":84133846,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":84133847,"value":"[]"}}},{"id":3692023,"type":"row","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":4,"items":[{"id":3692024,"type":"pod","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":0,"items":[],"properties":{"title":{"id":84133861,"value":null},"copy":{"id":84133862,"value":null},"media":{"id":84133863,"value":"image"},"image":{"id":84133864,"value":"{\"src\":\"https:\\\/\\\/images.podos.io\\\/kk2a6zrb8e0pb6ymrf37nk1m3e4sciq8hxylpzsrtrpyognm.jpeg.jpg?w=auto&h=auto\",\"alt\":\"\"}"},"video":{"id":84133865,"value":null},"autoplayInBackground":{"id":84133866,"value":"1"},"titleSize":{"id":84133867,"value":"1"},"overlay":{"id":84133868,"value":"1"},"href":{"id":84133869,"value":null},"borderRadius":{"id":84133870,"value":"#{image.border.radius}"},"padding":{"id":84133872,"value":"6"},"fullWidth":{"id":84133873,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":84133874,"value":"#fff0"},"published":{"id":84133875,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":84133876,"value":"[]"},"ratio":{"id":84133877,"value":"short"},"template":{"id":84134885,"value":"pod"}}},{"id":3692053,"type":"textBlock","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":1,"items":[],"properties":{"padding":{"id":84134886,"value":"2"},"html":{"id":84134887,"value":"
