Can you distinguish regular cotton from organic cotton?

Do they look and feel the same? can you tell if the dyes are all natural and organic? And what kinds of recyclable materials can be used for fabrics?

You can’t tell organically-raised cotton from factory farm cotton with your senses. Most of the impact from chemical-based factory farming is to the soil and local environment, not the plants raised, so you’re going to have to rely on the certification or check the farm. Dyes can maybe be recognized by someone skilled in the tech, but here again you need to rely on certification or a factory check. Just about any organic fiber or recyclable plastic can be made into fabric, from there you pick based on what you want the fabric to do.
