Non-organic
cotton is the world's most sprayed crop.
Organic
cotton, however, is grown on smaller farms and the chemicals
used in non-organic cotton production are banned for the production
of organic cotton.
Other
golf brands use non-organic cotton or synthetic fibres such
as polyester, which is derived from petroleum and requires high
energy-consuming manufacturing processes.
Golf
Refugees call these polyester shirts 'oil-slick' shirts.
Golf
Refugees are the first golf brand to offer a range of carbon
neutral apparel. But how can we claim that our shirts are carbon
neutral?
An
independent body called The Carbon Trust calculates the carbon
footprint of a product from manufacture to the point of delivery.
