The
Company
Founded in 1981, Dibb AB is the largest importer of organically-grown
cotton to Europe. Dibb AB supplies raw cotton for making feminine hygiene products, yarn, woven cloth
and finished products made from organic cotton throughout Scandinavia
and USA. All production and manufacture takes place in EU.
In March
1995, Dibb AB was granted the SIS Environmental SWAN mark, as the
first and only textile company in the Nordic area. It applies to all
TDA certified cotton from Dibb AB throughout Scandinavia. Licence
number 339 001.
Conventionally-produced cotton is one of todays most sprayed crops.
In consequence the production of organically produced cotton is on
the increase. With conventional cotton containing about 250 different
hazardous chemicals that contain carcinogenic and allergenic substances
it causes problems for manufacturers and users alike.
