Cotton Australia welcomes Kmart commitment to sustainable fibre

24/10/2017
The Australian cotton industry’s main grower body, Cotton Australia, has come out in support of Kmart Australia’s announcement to source 100% “more sustainable cotton” by 2020.
 
Kmart’s definition of ‘more sustainable’ includes Better Cotton Initiative cotton (BCI), myBMP-certified Australian-grown cotton, and organic and recycled cotton.
 
“Kmart has been putting Australian cotton into its clothing and homeware ranges for a number of years, and we’re proud to be a supplier of sustainable, ethically grown cotton,” said Cotton Australia chief executive, Adam Kay. “Almost 20% of this year’s crop was grown under the fully certified myBMP (Best Management Practices) programme, and we’re active members of the Better Cotton Initiative, supplying the world market since 2014.”
