Gots

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading certification system for organic textiles and clothing, and its importance cannot be overstated. Increasingly consumers are becoming concerned about the impact of the fashion industry on the environment, and the use of organic textiles is becoming more and more important. This is where GOTS comes in.

GOTS is an international standard that sets strict guidelines for the production of organic textiles and clothing. It covers everything from the sourcing of raw materials, to the manufacturing process, and the labelling of the finished product. This ensures that clothing made from organic textiles is not only environmentally friendly but also ethically produced.

One of the key benefits of GOTS certification is that it provides assurance to consumers that the clothing they are buying is truly organic. This is important because there are many textiles that are marketed as “organic,” but do not meet the strict standards set by GOTS. By choosing clothing that has been certified by GOTS, consumers can be sure that they are supporting sustainable and responsible fashion practices.
