GOTS: Setting the Standard for Sustainable Textiles Worldwide
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is recognized as the world's leading standard for organic textiles. It encompasses both ecological and social criteria, ensuring the organic status of textiles from harvesting raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing to labeling.
Key Principles of GOTS:
Organic Fiber: GOTS requires that at least 95% of the fibers used in a textile product must be certified organic. This includes fibers such as cotton, wool, and linen, among others.
Environmental Criteria: The standard prohibits the use of toxic chemicals commonly found in textile processing. It mandates the use of environmentally friendly practices throughout the production process, from dyeing and printing to finishing.
Social Criteria: GOTS also includes social criteria to ensure fair labor practices. This includes ensuring safe working conditions, fair wages, and no child labor.
Traceability and Labeling: Products certified to GOTS must meet strict traceability requirements, allowing consumers to track the origins of the materials used. Additionally, GOTS-certified products must carry labeling that accurately reflects their organic status.
Why Choose GOTS-Certified Products?
Environmental Benefits: GOTS-certified products are made with organic fibers and processed using eco-friendly methods, reducing the environmental impact of textile production.
Health Benefits: GOTS prohibits the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring that products are safe for consumers and workers alike.
