Organic Cotton
Ugo Furniture uses Organic Cotton grown in the USA . The Texas Department of Agriculture’
s Organic Certification Program certifies crops produced under an organic farming system. That is, a system of ecological soil management that relies on building humus levels through crop rotations, recycling organic wastes, and applying balanced mineral amendments. When necessary, this system uses mechanical, botanical, or biological controls that have minimum adverse effects on health and the environment. In addition, organic crops are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and synthetic herbicides. Upon demonstrating compliance with National Organic Standards 7 CFR Part 205, participants are entitled to use a marketing logo identifying their products as certified organic. TDA inspects and certifies producers, processors, handlers (warehouses, distributors, brokers) and retailers of organic products.
Organically-
grown cotton is ideal for people who have extreme chemical sensitivities. Ours is 100% certified organically-
grown cotton, without boric acid powder or mineral oil. Why choose organic? Organic farming does not employ synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, making organically-
grown cotton a clean, pure, toxin-free, and natural product. Furthermore, organic farming results in sustainable, healthy soil management that reduces erosion and run-off. The only drawback to organic cotton is that, like all organic products, the labor-intensive process increases the price. But Ugo Furniture believes the cost is justified, and as consumers have become more educated about its demand has increased.
Wellspring Fiber(TM)
We believe the future of our quality of life is tied directly to our ability to protect and enhance our natural environment. In respect to that we strive to use materials that originate from recycled substances, renewable resources and ecologically safe products.
Our exclusive Wellspring fiber is a revolutionary material that utilizes the second use of plastics. It's a virgin fiber that is generated from recycled polyethylene, familiar to you as two liter beverage containers. It's clean, odor free, and very resilient. The fibers look and feel incredibly like cotton; fluffy, soft, and very finely textured. The Wellspring fibers are amazingly light, and easy to work with. Our recycled fiber is non-allergenic and extremely comfortable. Using Wellspring fiber prevents millions of bottles from ending up in landfills. Using Wellspring fiber you can provide a quality product to your customer while helping to improve our environment.
