Was bedeutet GOTS-zertifiziert? – Nachhaltige Mode einfach erklärt

What does GOTS-certified mean? – Sustainable Fashion Explained

GOTS – three letters that make a real difference. If you buy sustainable fashion, you'll encounter this seal everywhere. But what's really behind it?

What is GOTS?

GOTS stands for Global Organic Textile Standard – the world's leading standard for the processing of textiles made from organically grown natural fibers. It was introduced in 2006 and is monitored by independent bodies.

What exactly is checked?

  • 🌿 Cultivation – No synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
  • 🏭 Processing – No dangerous chemicals for dyeing or finishing
  • 👥 Social Standards – Fair wages, safe working conditions, no child labor
  • 📦 Entire Supply Chain – Seamlessly certified from fiber to finished product

GOTS vs. other seals

While OEKO-TEX only checks the finished product for harmful substances, GOTS monitors the entire production chain – from the cotton plant to the finished T-shirt. This makes GOTS the most comprehensive seal in the textile industry.

Why TextilRebell relies on GOTS

At TextilRebell, GOTS is not a marketing tool. It's our promise: every product we sell has been made under fair conditions from organically grown cotton. No greenwashing, no compromises.
