Eco-Clothing Pioneers THTC Launch Brand New 100% Pure Organic Cotton T-shirts with 90% Lower Carbon Emissions (Built on Wind Farms)
THTC has recently released a
brand new range of organic t-shirts for A/W 2010 from 100% organic cotton,
built with the use of green energy using wind power, with a 90% lower carbon
footprint than conventionally produced cotton t-shirts. The cotton is certified
organic by The Soil Association and The Control Union, produced under the
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
The organic cotton is planted and harvested by hand, without
mechanization, and because organic farming does not use petroleum based
chemical fertilizer, pesticide or herbicide, it is less reliant on fossil
fuels. The t-shirts are built in association with The Carbon Trust, The Soil
Association, and The Fear Wear Foundation. They are also all certified by the
Oeko-Tex 100 Standard, Class I. The range has been screen-printed using
water-based inks, often using a discharge technique, which uses less ink and is
kinder to the environment.
The range takes influence from urban culture including music, street
art, politics and activism, with designs provided by THTC’s favorite designers
Mau Mau, Herse, Devolution, Gibla74 and Sam Coxen. Included in the range are
long running classic prints such as ‘Evil Mac’, ‘Free Burma’, and ‘Noah’s
Shuttle’, all produced by arguably the UK’s most talented graffiti artist Mau
Mau.
THTC also still carry a strong range of organic hemp t-shirts,
sweaters, track pants and accessories, and will continue to do so in the
future, with certain lines in organic cotton and bamboo to compliment this
offering.
