What are bio T-shirts and why are they better?

Bio T-shirts are typically made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, which is grown in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible way. No pesticides, genetically modified seeds, or other harmful chemicals are used. The result: A sustainable textile production that protects both people and nature.
