The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is an internationally recognized standard for organic textiles. Since its launch in 2006, GOTS has proven its practical viability and is supported by the growth in organic fiber consumption and the demand for uniform processing standards in the industry and the retail industry.


At present, the International Working Group on Organic Textiles (GOTS) has announced that the 4.0 version of the Globally Recognized Standard for Qualified Organic Natural Fiber Processing and Textiles has been officially promulgated. The new version retains the core terms of GOTS, such as: qualified organic fiber content of not less than 70%, and the ban on the use of GMO (transgenic), nanotechnology and carcinogens.


The new 4.0 revised the standard for conventionally added fiber materials. Modifications include up to 30% of recycled synthetic fiber components, provided that the fibers are environmentally friendly and certified. GOTS currently believes that it is no longer reasonable to focus solely on the amount of additional fiber in natural fibers. Other modifications include the ban on the use of pure polyester and Angora rabbit fur. New standards have been adopted for specific product categories, such as textile personal care products or mattresses.
