Singapore’s tropical climate—marked by high humidity and monsoon rains—creates ideal conditions for microbial growth and fabric degradation. Traditional upholstery materials often trap moisture, leading to mold and odor, while synthetic alternatives release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). MRETTY’s organic cotton upholstery addresses these challenges through sustainable innovation, blending health-conscious design with Asian climate adaptability.
Why Organic Cotton Uphstery Matters in Singapore
Singapore’s green building regulations and rising health awareness drive demand for organic cotton upholstery. Key requirements include:
-
Zero-formaldehyde finishes: Compliance with Singapore’s BCA Green Mark Certification
-
Moisture resistance: Prevention of mold growth in humid environments
-
Hypoallergenic properties: Safe for families with allergies or sensitive skin
MRETTY’s organic cotton achieves 99% formaldehyde reduction through GOTS-certified processes, validated by SGS Singapore.
