GOTS Certificate

What is GOTS Certificate?


Gots is founded by Organic Trade Association (OTA, USA), Internationaler Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft (IVN, Germany), The Soil Association (UK) and Japan Organic Cotton Association (JOCA, Japan). Two of these are textile industry organizations, while the other two (OTA and Soil Association) are organic organizations rooted in organic agriculture and food. Together, these brands hold knowledge of organic products and processes. This certification process is created by the spirit and the knowledge of these companies. Gots desires to harmonize these standards for organic textile products for an ecologically friendly tomorrow. The GOTS organization draws on the advice of, and input from, other relevant International Stakeholder Organisations and experts for regular standard updates.


To summarize, GOTS is a global leader standard certification for ecological brands. This certification means all of the products are created with ecology in mind. Furthermore, this certification is constantly audited by the GOTS employees.

Goals of To'hum and Circular Clothing

Reducing the Fashion Waste

In 2019 alone, 208 Million Pounds of fashion waste was created by disposable clothing. With the "Circularity" model we have adopted as To'hum, we want to stand against these fashion wastes and support sustainable life.

Reducing the Greenhouse Gas Emmisions

United Nations Climate Change News states, the fashion industry contributes around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions due to its long supply chains and energy intensive production; more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Thanks to the model we have adopted, we are adopting to reduce air pollution by reducing the function of this chain.

Reducing the Cotton Production

Quantis found that over 90% of the emissions for apparel come from four activities: dyeing and finishing, fabric preparation, yarn preparation, and fiber production. Therefore, in the model we have adopted, the need for dyeing and cotton will decrease, as the clothes will remain in circulation.

 

We will achieve circularity in fashion industry, together.
