When you choose fabric bags to replace plastic bags, it is not only important that they are durable, but also that they are made responsibly. One of the best certifications to look for is GOTS – Global Organic Textile Standard. But what does this certification really mean and why is it important?
What is GOTS Certification?
GOTS is one of the most respected certifications for organic textiles in the world. For a product to carry this label, it must meet strict environmental and social criteria throughout the production chain, from cotton cultivation to finished product.
Benefits of GOTS-certified Fabric Bags
1. Sustainable Cultivation of Raw Materials
With GOTS certification, it is ensured that the cotton is grown without harmful chemicals, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMO). This is better for the planet and for the workers in the cotton fields.
2. Safer Working Conditions
GOTS requires fair and safe working conditions throughout the production chain, meaning those who make our fabric bags work under ethical conditions with fair wages.
3. Environmentally Friendly Production
The production of GOTS-certified products uses less water and energy, and all chemicals used must meet strict environmental requirements. This means fewer harmful emissions are released into the environment.
4. No Harmful Dyes
The colors and prints used on GOTS-certified products are free from harmful heavy metals and other dangerous substances. This is good for both your health and the environment.
5. High Quality and Long Lifespan
GOTS-certified fabric bags are not only good for the environment, they are also durable and of high quality. This means you can use them again and again, reducing the need for disposable products.
How to Choose the Right Fabric Bag
When looking for a fabric bag, look for the GOTS logo to be sure you are getting a product that meets the highest standards. At OMOM, you will find a wide range of GOTS-certified fabric bags in various patterns and colors.
Conclusion:
Choosing GOTS-certified fabric bags is an active choice for a better environment and to support fair working conditions. Make a difference by choosing certified and contribute to a sustainable future!
