GOTS-certified
GOTS-certified
For a clear conscience
Behind the slightly unwieldy name "Global Organic Textile Standard" is a textile seal that provides a uniform certification procedure in the production of sustainable textiles – and this along the entire textile value chain.
Ecological standards - These include:
• Testing of all chemical additives
• Ban on azo dyes
• Ban on problematic additives, such as toxic heavy metals
• PVC free packing material
• Specifications for wet finishing plants regarding the use of chemicals and the treatment of wastewater
For a garment to receive the GOTS seal, it must consist of at least 70% natural fibers in kbA-/kbT quality and meet comprehensive social and ecological criteria in its production.
Social standards - These include:
- No child labor
- No forced labor
- Setting of a minimum wage
- Freedom of association
- No excessive working hours
WHO RECEIVES A GOTS SEAL?
The seal is awarded annually and GOTS-certified companies, like us, are subject to regular audits based on a dual control system - consisting of on-site inspection at the company as well as analyses of residues in the textiles.
