Eco-textile News For Organic Cotton Clothes
April 09 2009
The Soil Association has said that the sales value of organic textiles and clothing in the UK could nearly triple to £280 million in 2012 from sales of £100 million last year.

Over 150 retail shops and 250 online shops are selling organic textile products in the UK with Marks & Spencer selling 1.1 million and New Look selling 2.3 million organic items in 2008. For New Look, this was a 50% increase on 2007.
