GOTS Certification
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification has established itself as the key to excellence in the textile world. But what makes it so special? It is much more than just a label. It represents a real approach, a deep commitment to the planet and its inhabitants. Each fiber, each color, each manufacturing process is scrutinized with the greatest attention to ensure strict respect for the environment and human rights.
Choosing a GOTS certified product is not only a quality choice that we make, it is a responsible gesture. It is recognizing that behind each garment, there are hands, faces, lives. It is also understanding the importance of preserving our environment, reducing our ecological footprint, and promoting respectful and sustainable manufacturing processes. In short, GOTS certification is not only a guarantee of quality, it is a reflection of a textile industry that aspires to a more ethical and conscious future.
1- Understanding GOTS certification
Let's get to the heart of the matter. This GOTS logo that you have probably noticed on some of your clothes is not a simple ornament. It carries within it a whole philosophy and a deeply respectful approach.
- The origin and evolution of GOTS certification
GOTS, for Global Organic Textile Standard, was born out of necessity: to respond to growing concerns about the environmental and social impact of the textile sector. Since its creation, this certification has undergone several improvements to become the benchmark it is today. Behind this label, there is the guarantee of a textile produced ethically and ecologically, at each stage of its manufacture.
- The environmental benefits of certification
With GOTS, our dear planet breathes a sigh of relief:
Positive impact on the environment: certified textiles come with a promise, that of drastically reducing their footprint on the environment. No more mountains of waste and rivers dyed with dubious dyes!
Fewer chemicals, more smiles: GOTS says no to harmful chemicals! This means fewer toxic substances in the soil, water and ultimately... on our skin.
Water and energy: thanks to this certification, water and energy are used wisely, without waste, like in a perfectly orchestrated dance.
- GOTS Social Benefits
Beyond the environment, GOTS certification also aims at the well-being of workers:
Ethical working conditions: far from dark and unsanitary workshops, GOTS certified textiles are produced in conditions that respect people, with decent working hours and well-deserved breaks.
A big NO to forced and child labor: with GOTS, we can sleep soundly, knowing that our latest purchase was not made by innocent hands.
Fair wages and safety: Every worker deserves a living wage and a work environment where they feel safe. And that’s exactly what this lovely GOTS logo guarantees.
So, the next time you see this label on a textile, you will know that it is not just a simple logo, but a love story between the planet, its inhabitants and you.
