If you are looking for a sustainable and ethical promotional product to elevate your brand, then custom organic cotton makeup bags could be the answer.

1. Organic cotton is biodegradable and sustains the health of ecosystems

   The majority of makeup bags on the market are made from synthetic fibers, such as polyester and nylon. These synthetic fibers are derived from crude oil and take hundreds of years to biodegrade. As a result, they leave the planet riddled with microplastics. Microplastics end up in our oceans and drinking water supplies, harming us and precious wildlife. Luckily, organic cotton is 100% biodegradable since it is a natural fiber. Most organic cotton products can biodegrade in about 6 months. Also, organic cotton is produced using holistic farming practices. These practices include regenerative agriculture through processes such as crop rotation and composting. These practices help restore and sustain the health of the soil and natural ecosystems.

2. Organic cotton does not use toxic chemicals or GMOs

   Organic cotton is produced in accordance with certified organic agricultural standards. This prohibits the use of toxic chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Organic cotton prioritizes the health and wellbeing of farmers, their families, and their communities by reducing toxic chemical exposure in the fields, food, and water supplies. This reduces the risk of cancer in areas where organic cotton is farmed. Also, the lack of chemicals helps preserve biodiversity, and since GMOs are banned from organic farming practices, indigenous species are more likely to continue thriving in these ecosystems. Organic cotton farming practices benefit people and wildlife.

3.  Organic cotton saves water and energy and emits much less carbon into the atmosphere

   Organic cotton is 80% rain-fed, which greatly reduces pressure on local water sources. This is critical in protecting precious resources for communities that often suffer because of exploitative industries. Compared to conventional cotton, organic cotton uses 88% less water and emits 50% less carbon into the atmosphere. Manufacturing organic cotton releases 78% less carbon emissions compared to polyester and 91% less compared to nylon. This is a large margin of difference for the accumulation of atmospheric carbon, which contributes to climate change. Additionally, organic cotton only requires ⅙ the amount of energy it takes to produce polyester and nylon is even worse than polyester by 25%. Overall, organic cotton is much better than conventional cotton and synthetics in terms of conserving resources and limiting carbon emissions.

4.  Elevate your brand image and show you care about the planet and its people

   According to Harvard Business Review (HBR), sustainability-marketed consumer packaged goods (CPG) accounted for 50% of CPG growth from 2013 to 2018. Also, HBR reported that sustainability-marketed products generated $114 billion in sales in 2018. According to this data, many people are voting with their dollar for earth-conscious products and companies. For all the reasons mentioned above, organic cotton is the sustainable and ethical choice.
