GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification confirms that a fabric supplier meets strict organic fiber and chemical processing standards throughout the supply chain. For B2B buyers sourcing from Turkey, a GOTS-certified supplier simplifies EU sustainability compliance, retailer audits, and end-consumer labeling claims — without requiring additional third-party verification steps.
What does GOTS certification cover?
- Organic fiber content — minimum 95% organic (Grade 1) or 70% organic (Grade 2)
- Chemical inputs — restricted substances list (RSL) compliance throughout dyeing and finishing
- Wastewater treatment — effluent standards for all wet processing stages
- Social criteria — ILO core conventions on worker rights and factory safety
- Traceability — chain of custody from raw fiber to finished fabric roll
GOTS vs. GRS vs. BCI — Which Certificate Do You Need?
| Certificate | What It Covers | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| GOTS | Organic fiber + processing standards | Organic cotton jersey, French terry, fleece |
| GRS | Recycled content verification | Recycled polyester fleece, recycled fiber blends |
| BCI | Better Cotton Initiative — responsible farming | Conventional cotton with sustainability positioning |
