Call for feedback on Organic Content Standard
The Textile Exchange is asking brands and manufacturers for feedback on a new version of the Organic Content Standard (OCS).
The goal is to ensure trust by verifying the amount of organic material in a final product. The standard does not cover the certification of the raw material itself or processing inputs, environmental aspects of processing, social issues, safety issues or legal compliance.
The OSC Working group steering committee includes Ebru Gencoglu from Adidas, Pamela Ravasio from the European Outdoor Group, Nicole Bassett from prAna and Nikki Hodgson from the Outdoor Industry Association.
The advisory committee includes Carol Shu, The North Face and Beth Jensen from the Outdoor Industry Association.
Interested parties have until September 21 to download and amend the cycle and send it back to the Textile Exchange for consideration.
