BCI: Better Cotton Initiative

Cotton is arguably the World?s most important natural fibre with the cotton industry supporting the livelihood of 250 million people.

The Better Cotton Standard System is holistic approach to sustainable cotton production which covers all three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. Each of the elements from the Principles and Criteria to the monitoring mechanisms which show results and impact work together to support the Better Cotton Standard System, and the credibility of Better Cotton and BCI. The system is designed to ensure the exchange of good practices, and to encourage the scaling up of collective action to establish Better Cotton as sustainable mainstream commodity.

The key principles of the BCI are crop protection, water usage, soil health, biodiversity, fibre quality and decent working conditions. All BCI cotton is produced in verified cotton farms. All BCI cotton is produced in verified cotton farms.

Plastics & Packaging

As of early 2022, all our product packaging is 99.9%* plastic-free. In 2019, we began the process of phasing out all non-recyclable plastics from our packaging. That means no non-recycled plastic bags, plastic clips, collar straighteners, plastic swing tags, and plastic labels; we now substitute with paper, cardboard or metal.

The individual product bags used are a recyclable, naturally biodegradable, transparent paper bag by the sustainability packaging brand Vela. Their philosophy, along with ours, is to replace plastic poly bags with sustainable and recyclable paper packaging.

The mailing bags used for on-line orders are made from 100% recycled materials and contain biodegradable additive to assist with the biodegrading process.

We have a strict no-plastics policy on all our buttons and trims.

* For our larger products like Outerwear we are still searching for a suitable ‘non-plastic’ alternative. The individual product bags we use here are category recycled and are considered a safe form of plastic.

Transportation

We are conscious of the carbon footprint of our process but accept that getting raw materials into production and then into your home implies great deal of transport. We avoid use of airfreight as much as possible.

We have logistics process which streamlines deliveries to ensure maximum efficiency, including use of recycled cardboard and maximum load densities to get most efficient haulage time and frequency cutting down on wastage and empty consignment space.

We use sea transport with cargo vessels which abide by the highest standards of pollution reduction and best industry practice.

Italy

RAW MATERIALS

We import cotton yarns from numerous Italian mills into our knitwear factory in Turkey. All yarns come with OEKO-TEX certification and, if minimum order quantities allow, they are also Organic or BCI accredited.

United Kingdom


WAREHOUSE & DISPATCH

The UK is our base, more specifically the seaside town of Brighton. We have an office and warehouse space just outside of town where we deal with all orders and deliveries.

As a proudly independent brand, our UK office consists of a small but efficient team. There is the two brothers Mark & Chris (pictured above), fellow director Anthony, social media/content guru Charlie, digital marketing whizz Stuart, and customer service head honcho, Gwil. And for the most part, it’s fair to say we all really enjoy what we do.

To read more about our commitment to recycled plastics, carbon footprint, and any other concerns you may have about how we deal with processing deliveries and orders, scroll down on the main Sustainability page where you will find more detailed information.

Portugal

RAW MATERIALS

We import cotton yarns from numerous Portuguese mills into our knitwear factory in Turkey. All yarns come with OEKO-TEX certification and, if minimum order quantities allow, they are also Organic or BCI accredited.

Turkey

RAW MATERIALS / GARMENT PRODUCTION

Turkey is our main port of call for our knitwear production, where we work with a family run enterprise headed up by Deniz. Started by her mother in the 1970’s in Istanbul, this is a second generation of women who run the factory. A friendly and international team now exports globally and they are proud of their quality, and of their obedience to BSCI standards. Conditions of employment go beyond the legal minimums and all staff enjoy freshly cooked meals each day as well as pension and holiday entitlements – this is reflected in the average 10 year tenure. All yarns come with OEKO-TEX certification and, if minimum order quantities allow, they are also Organic or BCI accredited, and come from either Turkey, Italy or Portugal.

India

RAW MATERIALS / GARMENT PRODUCTION

When it comes to woven fabrics, India is our go-to. We work with a variety of mills that are all based mainly within the south of the country, in and around Chennai. To help streamline and keep an eye on the process we work with a well-respected fabric agent, who deals with quality control and checks.

All mills are working to the required governmental standards, and we only source fabrics that adhere to the BCI principles (see “Materials”). Where Government standards are not available we require internationally accepted standards 
to be applied.

Sri Lanka

RAW MATERIALS / GARMENT PRODUCTION

We have very close ties to Sri Lanka due to co-founder Mark having lived in the country for 8 years. All factories that are used, we know on a personal level and have worked with them in one guise or another for 10+ years or so.

In addition, we directly employ a small team of workers at our office in Colombo; Ihsan, Pathmisri and Roshan. They are responsible for our bespoke shirt service, sampling, and factory/mill quality control visits.

All the factories and mills we use have the necessary accreditations (SEDEX and Sri Lanka Apparel Association) to export garments/manufacture fabrics, and all abide by the SL governments strict exportation and employment guidelines.

Sri Lanka is our main source of production, where we manufacture shirts, t-shirts, outerwear, socks and headwear. In addition, we source our jersey fabrics from the leading knitting mill in South East Asia.

As a point of interest, the shirt factory we use has been in business for over 50 years and is proud to be the oldest shirt factory in Sri Lanka. Over the years they have manufactured for some of the biggest global brands, and finding a more knowledgeable factory on the subject of shirt making is a tough task..
