As Cotton Incorporated continues to explore innovative ways to drive sustainability in the textile industry, we remain committed to advancing practices that reduce environmental impact and promote a circular economy. One of the practices improving sustainability is composting – a practice that transforms natural materials into nutrient-rich soil amendments.
Unlike synthetic fibers, which take longer to break down, cotton is a natural fiber that decomposes quickly when composted in the right conditions. This process not only diverts waste from landfills but also enhances soil health.
Watch the video below to learn how composting cotton supports a circular economy and helps reduce textile waste.
