Dexam’s new products include a new range of organic cotton kitchen textiles. In line with the company’s commitment to operating as an ethically and environmentally sound business. organically grown cotton yarn is kinder to the environment. It uses less water, reduces soil erosion and does not use hazardous manmade pesticides, with farming methods that lock CO2 into the soil, helping mitigate climate change.
