The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol sets industry-wide standards for sustainable cotton

Today’s consumers are increasingly demanding transparency from the brands they buy. They want the guarantee that the products they purchase are ethically and sustainably manufactured and that each facet of the supply chain - be it the individuals involved or the environment - is protected and sustained.

With the extra backing from the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, manufacturers like Cap Yarns, who have perfected the sustainable yarn production process, can ultimately help their brand and retail customers reach their own sustainability targets.

That’s because the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol lets brands, businesses and consumers trust in the cotton they buy, sell, and wear. By establishing verifiable goals and measurements, they set industry-wide standards for sustainable field-to-market cotton production in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Farms and manufacturers aligned with the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol have the data-driven results to prove their commitment to protecting the planet and its people; today and for future generations. Trust Protocol’s key sustainability benchmarks will continue to drive improvements in multiple industry sectors, including land use, soil health, water management, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency.
