GOTS
Is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. Only textile products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibres can become GOTS certified. Importantly organic cotton farming does not allow the use of toxic chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides not even in the spinning process. Instead, they use methods and materials that have low impact on the environment and soil. The organic cotton has many benefits for farmers, mainly to avoid the inhalation of toxic chemicals and being exposed to them. It is better for the environment because has less impact on the air, water and soil; and benefits for the final user since there are no chemical retentions in organic cotton clothing.
OCS
This standard applies to the products that contain 5% – 100% of organic material. It verifies the presence and quantity of organic material in a final product and track the flow of raw materials from the beginning until the final product. This process is certified by an accredited third-party. All this control allows a transparent, consistent and complete independent evaluation and verification of organic material content claims on products.
RCS
This standard applies to the products that contain 5% – 100% of recycled material. It verifies the presence and quantity of recycled material in a final product in a precise way. In addition, it broaches most of the processes and concerns related to recycling as they provide verification of recycled material and then track it until the final product. Our Ocean collection includes several RCS products made of polyester that come from the recycling of water bottles (PET).
Both OCS and RCS certifications apply to every organization who belong to the supply chain: from the verification of organic material, recycling, processing, manufacturing, storage, handling and shipping until the last stage.
OEKO TEX
The main purpose of this certification is assuring the consumer that the article is free of harmful substances. The OEKO TEX label in the article certificates the human-ecological safety of the textile products.
In order to obtain the OEKO TEX certification, the following steps must be verified: production ecology, human ecology, use ecology and waste disposal ecology.
