SUNSHARK is committed to leading the way in sustainable fashion with OEKO-TEX certified organic cotton. We research the best suppliers who provide us with the highest quality materials while performing renewable practices.

 

Organic Cotton:

  • Over 70% of organic cotton is harvested in India and it promotes safe farming by using non-toxic chemicals on the plants and land that have water running downstream to neighboring communities.
  • Organic cotton uses 88% less water and 62% less energy consumption when compared to traditional cotton harvesting.
  • The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) ensures that textile workers are protected through safe and humane working conditions as well as the right to a fair and livable wage.

Tencel Fabric:

  • Tencel is a light, plant-based fiber that is well known for its versatility and eco-friendly approach to creating apparel. 
  • It is sourced from sustainable wood and then dissolved into wood pulp, filtered, dyed and then spun into a fine thread.
  • The fibers are naturally biodegradable and do not require bleaching during its process.  

Bamboo Fabric:

  • Bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable fabrics on earth. 
  • The properties within the fibers of the bamboo plant are naturally UV protectant, meaning that it protects your skin from harsh sun rays.
