Regenerative Stoffe
About our Regenerative Fabrics
Regenerative fabrics we work with include regenerative cotton jersey, fleece, and denim. Regenerative cotton has all the features and qualities of organic cotton. It is only the farming practices that are different. Regenerative agriculture is the process of working with nature to restore degraded soils using a closed-loop system. This is done through various methods such as never leaving land exposed by using cover crops, doing crop rotation to introduce nutrients to the soil, low-tillage of the ground like digging the soil to store more carbon dioxide, using compost, integrating livestock, and intercropping by planting different crops next to each other. The practices implemented are dependent on climate, the local ecosystem, and natural resources. There are no fixed practices; rather, it is about adopting holistic principles of farming that improve soil health. Many of these practices are also used in organic agriculture, and there are a lot of overlaps.
Regenerative farming is beneficial from an environmental, economic, and social perspective. It increases biodiversity, makes the soil more flood- and drought-resilient, has larger yields, enhances the habitat for wildlife, and is getting investments from brands, so farmers are getting support to implement these practices. Regenerative agriculture also improves the cleanliness of water and lessens pollution, as no pesticides are used. Increased nutrient levels in the soil also help store more carbon dioxide. The care of regenerative cotton fibers depends on what type of fabric is in question, as this varies from jersey to denim. Check the product page for more detailed guidance. We have worked with both the Regeneagri certification and Good Earth Cotton yarns in our fabrics to introduce more regenerative cotton into our collection. You can learn more about our certifications and the stories behind our processes on our production page.
