The GOTS certificate, also known as the Global Organic Textile Standard, is an internationally recognized standard for textile production that ensures the organic status of textiles from harvesting of raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing all the way up to labeling. It is widely considered as one of the most comprehensive and stringent certifications for organic textiles and offers assurance to consumers that the products they purchase meet high environmental and ethical standards. The certification covers every aspect of textile production, including the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading, and distribution of all textiles made from at least 70% certified organic natural fibers.
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) verifies the percentage of organically grown content and tracks it from the source to the final product. Products certified to the OCS contain organically grown material that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain. The purchase of OCS-certified products demonstrates demand for organic agriculture. Depending on the organic composition, products are classified as follows:
- OCS 100: Products contain at least 95% certified organically grown material.
- OCS Blended: Products contain between 5-94% certified organically grown material.
Furthermore, organic cotton is produced and certified to organic agricultural standards, which require specific practices to sustain and protect ecosystems.

Textile products that meet the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 criteria are labeled with a special tag or label that indicates they have been certified.
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verifies the percentage of recycled content and tracks it from the source to the final product. Products certified to the GRS contain recycled material that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the source to the final product.
In addition, all facilities from the source to the final supplier must meet stringent social, environmental, and chemical requirements. The purchase of GRS-certified products demonstrates a commitment to increasing demand for recycled content and supporting best processing practices throughout the supply chain.
