Over the last few years, preferences have shifted, and customers now expect sustainable credentials from brands more than ever.
By choosing brands with sustainable products, customers are reassured that they are considering their environmental impact and supporting ethical practices.
At the forefront of this rise in popularity are organic fabrics. Organic fabrics are textiles which are made from natural fibres and grown without toxic pesticides or herbicides.
Customers are choosing organic fabrics more often. For packaging, sustainable cotton or canvas bags are the new normal.
The Global Organic Cotton Market Size reached $535.2 million in 2025 and is expected to reach $885.8 million by 2033. So it’s clear where the market is heading.
But why are organic fabrics preferred, and why should brands choose them?
- Better for the environment – by choosing bags made from organic fabrics, you are reducing plastic usage – which is not only preferred by customers but by the government, under EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility). Organic cotton or canvas tote tags are biodegradable, reusable and help to lower energy consumption, pollution, and the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in landfill
