Mapping organic fibers from the beginning
For Coyuchi, the journey to circularity began when it was
founded in 1991 with a commitment to delivering the
highest possible standard of luxury textiles while maintaining
the integrity of organic cotton’s natural fibers.
This commitment is emulated through the certification of
Coyuchi’s cotton products with the Global Organic Textile
Standard (GOTS), the top certification for ecologically and
socially responsible practices throughout every step in
the supply chain of textiles.
Due to GOTS adherence to a strict set of rules ensuring the
welfare of the materials, the environment, and the working
conditions of every human involved along the way,
Coyuchi can be certain the used products it takes back
from its customers were organically grown and responsibly
processed. With this in mind, Coyuchi developed a
circular business model to meet its own unique needs: in
order for the loop to maintain all the same standards to
which it holds its new products, the company determined
it would start by collecting and recycling Coyuchi brand
products, exclusively.
Thus, the Full Circle Recycled Cotton Blanket & Throw
were born.
