What are GOTS, GRS, and OEKO-TEX certifications and what are they used for?

At Waixo, we are committed to sustainability, innovation, and transparency. That's why many of our fabrics have international certifications that guarantee respect for the environment and people. Today, we explain what GOTS, GRS, and OEKO-TEX certificates mean and why they are important if you are looking for responsible and quality fabrics.

   

GOTS Certificate: Global Organic Textile Standard

The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certificate is one of the most recognized worldwide for organic textiles. It guarantees that a fabric has been produced with a minimum of 70% organic fibers and that strict environmental and social criteria have been followed throughout the entire production chain: from the collection of raw materials to the final labeling.

What does GOTS guarantee?

• Use of organic cotton without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
• Manufacturing process without toxic or hazardous substances.
• Fair and safe working conditions for workers.
• Environmental control at every stage of the textile process.

Why is it important?

Choosing fabrics with GOTS certification at Waixo means opting for a more ethical, ecological, and responsible fashion.

 

GRS Certificate: Global Recycled Standard

The GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certificate verifies the recycled content of fabrics and ensures that responsible environmental, social, and chemical criteria are met.

What does GRS guarantee?

• That the material used in the fabric is actually recycled (minimum 20%, but often higher than 50%).
• Control of chemical substances in production processes.
• Safe and ethical labor practices.
• Transparency throughout the supply chain.

Why is it important?

At Waixo, we work with GRS-certified recycled fabrics because we believe in the circular economy and giving materials a second life. This certification supports that commitment.

 

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certificate

The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate guarantees that a textile product is free from harmful substances. Every component of the fabric (threads, dyes, labels) has been analyzed and approved.

What does OEKO-TEX guarantee?

• Absence of dangerous chemicals at harmful levels.
• Suitable even for textiles in contact with sensitive skin, such as baby clothes.
• Safe and ethical labor practices.
• Independent control by certified laboratories.

Why is it important?

This certificate is synonymous with safety for our customers. At Waixo, we apply it to many of our fabrics to ensure you can use them with complete peace of mind.
