Anvil Goes For Double
Anvil Knitwear is betting big on the organic cotton future, sharply taking up its commitments on procurement. According to a news report in
Lubbock Online, Anvil recently made a commitment with the Lubbock-based Texas Organic Cotton Marketing Cooperative to double the production of organic cotton in the US. That means Anvil Knitwear, the largest consumer of US organic cotton, will pay a premium for all the production from the increased acreage and will encourage other producers to switch to organic cotton. The New York-based company will also purchase any of the cotton making the transition into organic production at a price close to the price of organic cotton.
Anvil offers 17 eco friendly styles in fibers such as organic cotton, recycled cotton, transitional cotton (or cotton in conversion) and recycled polyester from PET bottles. Anvil was recently ranked the 6th largest organic program in the world by the Organic Exchange.
