Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
STANDARD
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
was developed by leading international standard setters in order to define world-wide recognised requirements that ensure organic status of textiles from harvesting of the raw materials
through environmentally and
socially responsible manufacturing
up to labelling
in order to
provide
credible
assurance to the consumer.
OCS – ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) applies to any non-food product containing 95-100 percent organic material. It verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product and tracks the flow of the raw material from its source to the final product.

What is Vegan Clothing?
Vegans avoid all animal products. Just like with food, this also applies to fashion: no animal substances may be contained in the finished garment. The best-known animal components include leather, wool, silk, fur and down. But other materials are also of animal origin: buttons can be made of horn or mother-of-pearl and the impregnation of rain jackets or trousers can contain beeswax.
In contrast, manufacturers of vegan fashion rely on plant-based or synthetic fibers such as cotton, linen, polyester and synthetic leather instead of animal materials.
Why Vegan Clothing?
Most of the animals involved in the manufacture of the above products are bred specifically for their raw materials. The animals often come from countries where there are virtually no animal welfare guidelines. When sheared or plucked, the animals often feel severe pain, and many are killed unprofessionally in a cruel manner without anesthesia.
Animals are neither fashion nor home decor. The decision to "use" animal materials such as wool to make human clothing and other textile products is speciesist. A speciesist mindset puts humans above other sentient beings and categorizes them according to their “usefulness.” Instead of exploiting animals, we can choose products made from animal-free materials.
About PETA
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Foundation is a UK-based charity dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals.
Like humans, other animals are capable of suffering and have interests in leading their own lives; therefore, they are not ours to use – for experimentation, food, clothing, entertainment or any other reason. PETA and our affiliates around the world educate policymakers and the public about cruelty to animals and promote an understanding of the right of all animals to be treated with respect.
PETA works through public education, research, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement and protest campaigns. PETA believes in non-violence and does not advocate or support actions in which anyone, human or non-human, is harmed. PETA is a charitable organisation that works to educate the public about the horrors of cruelty to animals through peaceful means.
