GOTS: The production happens in a environmentally and socially responsible manner, from beginning to end. No GMO’s, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides are used, the cotton fields are traceable, and the water management happens in a reasonable and controlled manner. Furthermore this label checks if the labour conditions are according to the standards set by the UN.
Oekotex® standard 100: The fabric is tested for substances that are harmful for human health, so for the worker as well as for the customer. This way, many substances that are harmful for the environment are also indirectly banned.
The entire chain of production is closed. This means that all water, chemical additives, decolourants etc. are captured and reused or safely disposed of, so they don’t end up in nature. Furthermore, the wood cellulose comes from beech or eucalyptus from sustainable forestry, and chemical substances are replaced by natural materials.
