We are proud that all our products are GOTS certified.
GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, which is an international standard for organic textile production. The GOTS certification ensures that textiles produced according to the standard meet certain requirements related to sustainability and social justice throughout the production process.
The GOTS certification covers the entire textile supply chain, from raw material production, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and distribution. To achieve GOTS certification, all steps in the production process must follow strict guidelines and criteria.
Some of the main requirements of GOTS certification include:
Organic raw materials: A minimum of 95% of the fibers in a textile product must be of organic origin. This means they must be grown without the use of harmful chemicals such as synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Environmentally friendly production: GOTS requires production processes to minimize the use of water, energy, and chemicals. There are also strict rules for waste management and water treatment.
Social criteria: GOTS certification also takes into account working conditions and social justice. It requires that workers receive fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to organize professionally.
Chemical restrictions: GOTS sets limits on the use of certain harmful chemicals in textile production. This includes restrictions on the use of dyes, bleaches, and other chemicals that may be harmful to health.
The GOTS certification gives you as a consumer confidence that the textiles you buy are produced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. The certification is internationally recognized and is increasingly in demand in the textile industry as it promotes sustainable practices and better working conditions.
