- Silverstick beanies are produced in a small family run factory just outside Nottingham, UK that employs 12 people and pays the living wage or above. The factory specialises in producing premium knitwear from natural fibres, including merino wool, British wool, organic cotton and Alpaca wool. Silverstick visit the factory on a regular basis and are really pleased with quality and working conditions.

Environmental

- Silverstick GOTS certified organic cotton (Global Organic Textile Standard) is farmed, graded and bailed in Utter Pradesh, Northern India.

- Silverstick beanies are dyed with non azo dyes. Azos are a class of compounds used in textile dyes, some of which have been found to be harmful. Existing European legislation bans the use of these unhealthy azo dyes  and all Silverstick clothing is certified azo and chlorine free, in accordance with Õko-Tex Standard 100 and ISO 17050-1.

Areas for development

While the inspection of Global Organic Textile Standard-certified farms for environmental purposes gives the pickers some measure of security and ensures that they aren’t exposed to harmful chemicals, this certification does not directly guarantee the working conditions of cotton pickers.
