GOTS - Global Organic Textile Standard

The use of natural fibers, their traceability on the production supply chain and and the adoption of eco-sustainable processes has led to the formulation of an international standard known as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard).GOTS makes it possible to produce and promote textile products respectful of the environment and of the fundamental social rights of the workers.

What's Organic Textile

GOTS certification for Organic Textile ensures the use of natural fibers (cotton,linen,hemp, silk, wool) grown in compliance with the Organic Agriculture principles, that is without the use of synthetic chemical inputs, or GMOs.
