An organic certified product refers to items that have undergone organic inspection during their production process. The raw material used in the fabric must be certified organic, and all stages of processing until the product reaches the market must comply with organic standards.
For a product to obtain organic certification, it must be subjected to numerous inspections and evaluations.
The most significant certification used in organic textile production is the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification. This certification establishes a global standard for all textile supply chains through independent certification, assessing "compliance with ecological requirements, adherence to social criteria, the use of organic fibers in textiles, and conformity to processing conditions for these fibers."
Its purpose is to ensure that the product is made from organic raw materials, evaluate production conditions and locations, and provide a reliable production process for the consumer, including labeling stages.
The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification encompasses parameters related to banned or restricted raw materials and health precautions. Manufacturers of dyes and raw materials used in textiles with this standard are responsible for ensuring that the harmful substances listed under the Oeko-Tex® 100 standard are either not used in production or are used within permissible limits.
Organic textile production protects ecosystems and humans by preventing the use of synthetic pesticides, which pollute the environment and food supplies and can cause various long-term health issues. We strongly recommend paying attention to organic certification and organic content labels in the products you purchase, as it is crucial for the sustainability of natural resources and the protection of global health.
