SAVING OUR SEAS, ONE CONSCIOUS TOWEL AT A TIME
The Cape Cod Towel Company depends on the incredible benefits of two environmentally conscious materials: recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and organic cotton. These materials combine style with a commitment to preserving our planet.
rPET
rPET, or recycled polyester, is a term used to describe a eco-friendly concept known as “upcycled plastic.” It’s like giving plastic bottles a second chance at life. By transforming theme into rPET, we’re taking a stand against waste and reimaging sustainability in a stylish way. Recycled polyester also offers similar performance characteristics to virgin polyester.
RPET SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
100% ORGANIC COTTON
Our beach towels and blankets are crafted with organic cotton sourced from the pristine Aegean region in Turkey. The cotton from this area boasts extra-long fibers, ensuring remarkable durability and longevity. As you wash your towel or blanket, it becomes increasingly soft and absorbent. The woven cotton fabric is not only lightweight but also dries much faster compared to traditional terry cloth towels.
ORGANIC COTTON
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This farming method helps preserve soil fertility and biodiversity, reduces water contamination, and promotes healthier ecosystems.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Supporting organic cotton cultivation encourages fair trade practices and fair wages for farmers. It promotes ethical sourcing and helps create better livelihoods for communities involved in cotton production.
ORGANIC COTTON
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
REDUCED CHEMICAL EXPOSURE
Conventional cotton production involves the use of harmful chemicals that can have adverse effects on farmers, workers, and consumers. By choosing organic cotton, we support a safer working environment for farmers and help minimize the risk of chemical exposure for consumers.
NO TOXIC RESIDUES
Organic cotton is free from toxicresidues, making it a healthier choice for consumers, particularly those with sensitive skin or allergies. It also reduces the risk of chemical absorption through the skin.
The OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification is a globally acknowledged label that assures consumers of the safety and quality of textiles. Products bearing this certification have undergone comprehensive testing for a broad spectrum of harmful substances at every stage of the textile production process. The testing criteria are stringent, covering substances known to be hazardous to health. The certification is not a one-time event but requires ongoing compliance, with annual renewals ensuring that the certified products consistently meet the established safety standards. With its international recognition and focus on transparency in the supply chain, the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 label serves as a trusted symbol, offering consumers confidence in the textiles they choose and promoting a healthier and safer textile industry.
