Greensource provides T-shirts, jeans and other apparel made from a
variety of greener sources, including organic cotton, bamboo and
recycled polyester..
.
The cotton Greensource uses is grown in accordance with organic
standards, and how the company processes and manufactures the jeans
meets the voluntary “a href=”http://www.global-standard.org/” title=”http://www.global-standard.org/” target=”_blank”>Global Organic Textile Standard”/a>. All five of the company’s manufacturing facilities have been certified to the standard..
.
Wal-Mart’s Faded Glory label and Kmart’s Route 66 brand will each offer
men’s, women’s and children’s jeans made with organic cotton..
.
In late 2008, the two retailers, along with Macy’s and Kohl’s, sold
test quantities of organic jeans from Greensource. Based on the success
of sales in Wal-Mart and Kmart, the companies will be offering organic
jeans in higher volumes..
.
Every Greensource-made garment also comes with a tracking number, and
consumers can plug those numbers in at Greensource’s website to see the
growing field, spinning mill and factory that piece of clothing came
from..
