SUSTAINABLE, TRACEABLE AUSSIE COTTON
Cotton Australia is interested in long-term partnerships with brands, retailers and manufacturers that would like to source Australian cotton, then tell the world all about it. If your company is interested in sustainable, traceable, high quality raw materials for your cotton products then we may be in business.
Australian cotton is suitable for a wide range of products including designer jeans, high-quality wovens, sheets and towels, basic tees and hoodies. Many of the brands we work with have reported a noticeable improvement in quality when making the switch to Australian cotton, often with little difference in price.
Cotton Australia also works with supply chain partners including spinning and fabric mills, suppliers and brands to establish cotton supply chains for 100% Australian cotton, or Australian cotton blends.
