GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard and is one of the world's leading standards for organic textiles.
The standard sets strict requirements for the production and processing of organic fibres. As a result, GOTS provides greater assurance about the origin of the materials used and the way they are processed.
GOTS was developed to assess the entire production chain of organic textiles. It covers much more than the fibres themselves.
The standard includes requirements for the processing of organic raw materials, the use of chemicals during production and social criteria throughout the textile supply chain.
For this reason, GOTS is recognised worldwide as one of the leading standards for organic textiles.
When fabrics meet the GOTS standard, it means they have been produced in accordance with comprehensive requirements for organic textile production.
For consumers, this provides greater transparency about the origin and processing of the materials used.
For selected products within our collection, we consciously choose GOTS-certified fabrics.
Knit Factory itself is not GOTS certified. Whenever we use GOTS-certified fabrics, this is always clearly stated on the relevant product page.
