another label?
Come #behindtheseams to find out how we’re so much more… and enter our giveaway!
giveawayWe’re tackling the textile industry’s biggest challenges
See just a few…
Challenge 1
Complex Production
On average, making a single piece
of clothing involves 30-50 distinct
production steps.
The GOTS solution
GOTS requires that each and every step in the manufacturing supply chain - spinning, dyeing, stitching, packaging and more - meets our strict environmental and social criteria.
Challenge 2
Toxic Chemicals
Studies show that up to 1 in 3 textiles tested worldwide contain hazardous substances that can come in contact with your skin - without any warning label.

The GOTS solution
GOTS prohibits all chemicals that don’t meet rigorous safety conditions
No formaldehyde,
No PFAS,
No toxic dyes
protecting both your skin and the people who make your textiles.
Challenge 3
Water Pollution
Textile dyeing and finishing processes contribute to about 20% of global industrial water pollution, releasing toxic chemicals into water bodies.

The GOTS solution
GOTS combats this by first, regulating chemical use, then requiring certified facilities to treat all wastewater through effective, environmentally sound processes — protecting both local communities and the environment.
