■20-year-old organic cotton popularization project "ORGABITS"
"ORGABITS" is an organic cotton promotion project that began in 2005 with the desire to contribute to the global environment and producers by "bits". To make it easier for organic cotton to be used and popularized, we have produced more than 150 fashion brands and produced more than 12 million items in total (as of the end of June 2025) with the "reversal idea" of delivering 100% organic cotton products to 100 times more people, rather than sticking to the use of 100% organic cotton in a single piece of clothing. The items endorsed by ORGABITS include donations to support organic cotton farmers and NPOs, and the circle of social contribution activities that can be participated in on a daily basis through a single piece of clothing is expanding.

Organic cotton is cotton grown organically on farmland that does not use pesticides and chemicals that affect the environment and organisms for more than three years, according to the standards of organic farming methods in each country. By using organic cotton, we help protect the lives of the people involved in production and the environment such as the land where cotton is grown. We believe that choosing organic cotton is the first step towards a sustainable society, and TOYOSHIMA aims to popularize organic cotton.
