Sustainable materials at Switcher: organic cotton since 2001

Posted by Switcher Respect on

We are not here to make fashion. We are here to make a difference.

At Switcher, we have set ourselves the goal of using only products from 100% recycled or organic origin. As one of the first brands in Switzerland, the organic cotton was introduced in the range already in 2001. 

Why organic cotton?

  • 20% less nutrient input into the soil.
  • 70% less influence on acidification of the soil.
  • 91% less water consumption.
  • 46% less CO2 emissions.
  • 62% less energy consumption.
    This makes the potential of organic cotton all the more apparent: the positive effects for people and the environment are enormous if we return to more natural, sensible and sustainable cultivation.
      The water savings potential alone is great. In organic farming projects, cotton farmers learn how to use drip or furrow irrigation to manage water efficiently. In addition, organically managed soils are better able to retain moisture. Unlike conventional cultivation, only humus and plant slurry are used, and the use of agricultural poisons is prohibited. Proven mechanical methods and natural, non-GMO seeds are used. Weeding, the collection of pests and also the harvest are manual labor.

      Say yes to organic cotton and no to harmful chemicals!

      At Switcher, we are proud to offer a unique line of organic clothing that stands out from other brands. Here are some reasons why our organic t-shirts, leggings, sweatshirts, scarves, jumpsuits, and other garments are unique:
