Why choose organic cotton: the Global Organic Textile Standard certification

Global organic textile standard

Organic cotton is grown and processed with respect for the planet and people. It is the product of the only cultivation technique that offers an alternative to those involving the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, using organic or natural products. To obtain certifications of excellence and meet the highest standards, the cotton must be almost exclusively organic, meaning the fibers must not be mixed with conventional and organic cotton. Among the certifications available, one of the most prestigious is GOTS, an acronym for Global Organic Textile Standard. What can be certified under GOTS? You can obtain the GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard for your textile products ( garments ), for your entire supply chain , and even for the chemicals used in the manufacturing process of a textile industry. The criteria required are environmental, qualitative (from a technical standpoint and regarding toxicity to people involved in the process), and social. According to GOTS certification, cotton products can be defined as " organic " if at least 95% of the fibers can be determined as such, while they are defined as " made with organic cotton " if at least 70% of the fibers are certified. The supply chain can only be certified if the product traders also meet the criteria set by the certifying body: they represent a key link in the value chain and customers must be reassured about the flow of the products from their origin to the various sales channels. The exception is retailers of products already certified and labeled GOTS: they are authorized to market the manufacturer's goods without participating in the certification program and can also display the GOTS symbol in their catalogs and websites.
