For Francisca Viera, CEO of the brand that produces clothing with organic colored cotton at Paraiba is an opportunity to show the output gap. She says:

“Our cotton is born colored without using dyes, that mean, we are the innovation in this event”.

Brazil should surprise in your exhibition in France. The colored cotton is a technological innovation of a natural raw material, research results on genetic selection. The plume cotton is born in shades ranging from beige to brown without going through dyeing process of any kind and therefore does not generate environmental impact.

Studies of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Company –  Embrapa – show that, in the production process, there is a reduction of 87.5% water compared to production of a common shirt, industrially dyed.
