From towels to bedding to clothes and more, cotton has become a staple in many households. It\u2019s known as a natural and<br \/>\nsustainable alternative to plastic and other not-so-eco-friendly materials on the market, but many questions come up about organic versus conventional cotton. Is organic cotton more sustainable? It is higher quality? At the end of the day \u2026does it really matter?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The main difference between organic and conventional cotton has to do with the growing process. Organic cotton is grown without toxic substances and pesticides, making it better for the environment, the soil quality, and the cotton itself. Purchasing certified organic cotton also means that you\u2019re able to verify that it was grown in a sustainable environment. The process of growing organic cotton produces around 46% less CO2<br \/>\nemissions and uses 91% less water than conventional cotton. So, if sustainability is a priority for you while making your purchasing decision, then organic cotton may be worth it for you.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the environmental factor, many people prefer organic cotton for health and sensitivity reasons. Organic cotton is usually not bleached like conventional cotton normally is. You\u2019ll notice that organic cotton has a slightly off-white coloring for this reason. It is pesticide-free, bleach-free, and hypoallergic. This makes it a great option for people with sensitive skin! Many people vouch for organic cotton saying you can feel the difference from normal cotton \u2026but you\u2019ll have to try it for yourself!<\/p>\n<p>At Bulletin Brands we have great bag options that are made with organic cotton (and normal cotton too if you\u2019re not looking to switch over to organic quite yet!)<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/organic-cotton-flat-tote.html\">Organic Cotton Flat Tote<\/a> is a great option for those looking to invest in an organically made bag. It\u2019s an affordable bag that\u2019s extremely versatile and has the perfect imprint area for your logo or design. Another option we offer is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletinbag.com\/wide-gusset-organic-grocery-tote.html\">Wide Gusset Organic Grocery Tote<\/a>. This bag is made of organic cotton as well, but unlike the flat tote this bag has large 7-inch gussets for extra room and carrying capacity.
