Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
The Global Organic Textile Standard was developed by leading international organizations in organic agriculture in order to guarantee the consumer that organic textile products are obtained in compliance with stringent environmental and social criteria applied at all levels of production, from the collection in the field of natural fibres to the subsequent manufacturing phases, up to the labeling of the finished product. GOTS, responding to the strong demand for common production criteria by the industry and the distribution of textile and clothing products, has obtained a vast international recognition that allows those who produce and sell organic textile products to have available a certification accepted in all the main markets.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS), certified by third-party bodies such as IDFL, is a voluntary international standard promoted by Textile Exchange that guarantees the recycled content of materials (minimum 20%, typically 50% for labeling) in products, while also ensuring sustainable production practices, chemical restrictions, and ethical working conditions throughout the supply chain.
Meaning and objectives of the GRS according to IDFL:
- Recycling Verification: certifies that the material comes from recycled sources (pre- and post-consumer).
- Traceability: traces the material throughout the entire supply chain.
- Environmental Criteria: reduces the negative impact of production (water and energy consumption).
- Social Criteria: respects workers' rights.
- Chemical Management: limits the use of harmful chemicals.
