Rating Summary

Nature & Animals

Young Eden’s house line is made entirely from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, sourced through Hae Now from Chetna Organic, a Fairtrade and GOTS-certified farmer cooperative in India. Around 71% of the garments are left undyed, with any colour coming from a low-impact reactive dye or GOTS-approved water-based inks, and no chlorine bleach is used.

Orders shipped from the brand’s own warehouse use EcoEnclose mailers made from 100% recycled, RCS-certified content.

The house line uses no animal-derived materials, and because the garments are 100% organic cotton with no synthetic blends they are compostable at end of life.

Choosing organic cotton over synthetic fibres also gives the products a lower carbon footprint.

As a small, owner-run business, Young Eden has not yet disclosed its own water, energy or waste tracking, and the finished garments are not GOTS-certified through the full manufacturing chain.
