This sweatshop-free product is designed and manufactured by Ecolution India Organics using locally grown organic cotton and bamboo.  Ecolution India Organics is based in India, where it owns its own organic cotton fields and processing facility, which operate under fair trade no-sweatshop guidelines monitored by W.R.A.P. (Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production) certifications.  Ecolution India Organic products are made from only the finest hand picked organically grown cotton, and dyed with environmentally friendly dies. They are free of all synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides.

The employees that made this product work in a safe and healthy work environment, free of: forced labour, discrimination, harassment, abuse, and child labour.  Employees receive at least the minimum total compensation required by local law, including all mandated wages, allowances and benefits, and are allowed to exercise their lawful rights of free association and collective bargaining.

Ecolution India Organics also possess a deep concern for the poor and the deprived which is mirrored through a series of welfare activities including:

  • Giving Life Insurance to farmers
  • Social service (Old Age Home, Goshala, Women Empowerment, Health Camps and Educational Support)
  • Old age home and Health Camps established
  • Women empowerment (Sewing center)
  • Giving aid to Schools in Villages
  • Launching vocational courses
  • Generating more employment

Ecolution India Organics farming practices of organic cultivation not only benefit the farmers financially due to growing demand for clean organic farming, but also keep the land free from harmful chemicals associated with commercial cotton cultivation.  The environmental results have proven to be a positive step forward to improve the farmland:

  • Nitrogen content in the soil has increased from 0.06% to 1.7%
  • 75% increase in Oxygen absorption in the soil
  • Increased growth of stem and leaf
  • Enhanced photosynthesis rate of plants
  • Improved quality of fruit and grains
  • Improved soil water management practices and soil fertility
  • Reduced cost of cultivation
  • Increasing number of farmers and more land under organic cultivation


Experts including agricultural scientists, technical consultants and extension supervisors regularly monitor farming activities and guide the farmers on complete waste management, recycling, and adopting better farming practices. They train the farmers on preparing natural fertilizers, human and animal health care and pest management, in addition to undertaking various activities for their welfare. Farmers are also aided by being offered a premium on organic cotton over regular cotton and having seeds available to them that are priced lower than the standard market price.

Ecolution’s farming and production standards are well documented and meet the requirements of:

  • NOP, USA
  • I-FOAN, European guidelines
  • SKAL, Netherlands
  • Soil Association, UK
  • IMO, Switzerland
  • The North American Draft Organic Fiber Standards' guidelines are followed in the various spinning, knitting, dyeing, and finishing processes executed for the organic cotton.

In addition to showing utmost concern for its workers and the environment, Ecolution India Organic products are 100% vegan, containing no products from animal exploitation such as leather or wool.
