Why we think GOTS is awesome

Why we think the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is awesome

When it comes to our wardrobes, we all want to look good and feel great in our clothes. But did you know that your fashion choices can also make a significant positive impact on the environment and even on your well-being? It’s time to explore the amazing world of Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified clothing and how it’s not just good for the planet but also a fantastic choice for you. Let’s dive into the reasons why GOTS-certified apparel is a win-win for both you and the Earth.

GOTS: Eco-friendly wardrobe choices

Imagine filling your closet with clothes that don’t harm the environment. GOTS-certified clothing is all about that! By choosing these garments, you’re supporting an industry that actively lowers its environmental impact. The use of organic fibers means no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs are involved in their production. It’s like giving a big green hug to the planet.

Prioritizing your well-being & a trustworthy choice

Organic fibers aren’t just kind to the Earth; they’re also gentle on your skin. With GOTS-certified clothing, like with our shirts and kids shirts, you can bid farewell to the potential irritants and toxins that sometimes lurk in conventional textiles. These garments are produced with your comfort and health in mind.

On top of that, when you spot the GOTS label on a piece of clothing, you know you’re making a smart choice. To earn that label, a minimum of 70% of the garment must be made from certified organic fibers. If it says ‘organic,’ that number rises to a whopping 95%! It’s a simple and reliable way to identify clothing that aligns with your values.

Through GOTS you're supporting sustainable farming

GOTS-certified clothing supports a farming method known as organic agriculture. This approach sustains the health of ecosystems, soils, and people. By choosing these clothes, you’re contributing to a global shift toward more sustainable and ethical farming practices. Your wardrobe has never been this eco-conscious.

'Organic in Conversion': A Positive Step

Have you ever heard of the term ‘organic in conversion’? It’s a special label grade allowed by GOTS. When you choose these products, you’re supporting farms transitioning to organic farming, which takes around three years. This stability is essential for farmers and their families. Plus, ‘organic in conversion’ products are stored and processed separately, ensuring they meet the growing demand for organic fibers.

GOTS uses organic cotton, but takes it much further

Caring for the environment and people

GOTS doesn’t stop at organic fibers; it evaluates the entire textile supply chain, which is one of the main reasons why we work with GOTS certified blanks in our shop. When you see the GOTS label, it’s a guarantee that both environmental and social criteria have been met. This encompasses everything from the chemicals used to how workers are treated. It’s a comprehensive approach that benefits both the planet and those who make your clothes.

Third-Party Certification for Peace of Mind

To ensure the integrity of GOTS-certified clothing, third-party certification bodies are involved. They conduct rigorous inspections, guaranteeing that your chosen apparel adheres to GOTS’ ecological and social criteria. So, you can wear your eco-friendly fashion with confidence!
