GOTS plans to add 'sustainable fibres' to standard
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is developing an additional standard, which it claims will help the industry to apply the GOTS framework to "other sustainable" fibres.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is developing an additional standard, which it claims will help the industry to apply the GOTS framework to other sustainable fibres.
One of the drivers is the tightening legislation, with the non-profit wishing to provide compliance support for a wider range of fibres.
Claudia Kersten, managing directors of Global Standard, said: “Global Standard remains committed to driving positive change in the textile industry, addressing the evolving needs of the market and promoting sustainability at every level of the value chain to contribute to the empowerment of the industry to meet the sustainable development goals.”
Once the respective committees in Global Standard have agreed on the first draft, the standard will undergo a public consultation procedure.
