HOPPEDIZ® Baby Slings now also available in COC (controlled organic crop) cotton

Bergisch Gladbach, 18th April 2005 - The HOPPEDIZ® Baby Sling company now also offers one of their baby sling product lines in COC (controlled organic crop) cotton. HOPPEDIZ® obtains its raw cotton from growers who do not use any pesticides or synthetic fertilisers on their fields. Since the cotton is picked by hand, the use of defoliants is unnecessary. The use of COC cotton guarantees the undiminished high-quality of HOPPEDIZ® baby slings, which have already received a rating of "very good" in the ecological test in the year-book young children 2005.

"Our baby slings are of very high quality even without COC cotton, but we have reacted to requests made by our customers, and now can and want to meet ecological requirements" said Annette Schröder, founder of HOPPEDIZ®.
