OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON

Verified from farm to product.

OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON certification is offering a comprehensive and objective testing system for organic cotton products with a fully verified chain of custody. The focus is product and consumer safety as well as traceability.

Fashion and textile products bearing this label were made with organic cotton, grown without GMOs (genetically modified organisms) or pesticides, and were tested for other harmful substances. For verification of organic origin, OEKO-TEX®’s GMO quantification method differentiates between contamination and purposeful mixing of conventional cotton.

To ensure organic farming practices at the farm level, OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON requires a certification according to the IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements) family of standards. Starting with the ginning phase, each change of ownership requires an OEKO-TEX® ORGANIC COTTON transaction certificate. Along with the transaction certificate, documentation proving the transaction, such as relevant invoices and delivery slips, plus all ORGANIC COTTON certificates, must be submitted.
