The Organic Exchange, a California – based organisation whose main aim is to increase the production of organically grown fibres such as cotton, has recently established a European office in Amsterdam.

The purpose of opening the Amsterdam office is to focus on expanding, connecting, stimulating and supporting the market for organic and sustainable textiles in Europe.

Organic Exchange organises seminars for brands, retailers and suppliers in several European markets offering basic training for those new to organic and sustainable textiles as well as more advanced training for those with more knowledge and understanding.

The first seminar was held last month in Amsterdam in collaboration with the MADE-BY, an umbrella label for sustain ably produced fashion and the next seminar is to be held in Bremen, Germany at the Bremen Cotton Exchange, 8^th and 9^th April 2008.
