Press ReleaseProducts
Toyoshima & Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Hanshichi Toyoshima, Nagoya City Naka-ku We are pleased to announce that the organic cotton brand "Orgavitz" will be selected as part of the latest collection of the sports brand "Le Coq Sportif" and will be released on Friday, February 8, 2019 as a product to support the "Because I am a Girl" campaign developed by the international NGO Plan International. http://orgabits.com/【Orgavitz Official Website】
"Orgavitz" is an organic cotton promotion project that began in 2006 with the desire to contribute to the global environment and producers "a little" by everyone. In order to make it easier for organic cotton to be used and popularized, about 100% brands are currently participating and producing a cumulative total of more than 6.84 million items based on the "reverse idea" of delivering 100% of products to 100 times the number of people without sticking to 100% of the amount used per garment. These activities have expanded to support farmers and NPOs in the country of origin, and the circle of social contribution activities that can be participated in on a daily basis through a single piece of clothing is also expanding.

Cotton cultivation, which is the raw material for clothing, uses about 15% of the insecticides and 7% of pesticides used around the world*, and is associated with many environmental and social problems such as the massive use of pesticides, soil contamination, and health hazards of farmers. On the other hand, organic cotton is organically grown cotton on farmland that has not used pesticides or chemical fertilizers at all for more than three years. The widespread use of organic cotton is expected to reduce traditional cotton cultivation methods and improve problems in global production areas.
