The Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) allows for labeling products in conversion, which is similar to OTCO’s transitional class (from conventional to organic). A shirt might say “Made with 85 percent in conversion cotton” as long as it is certified to the conversion standard. In addition to the “Made with” category, it can contain non-organic fibers, but cannot contain conventional fibers of the same raw material that is used for organic quantity. PureRest manufacturing which is the bulk of our product line feels that any organic product should be 100% and so they meet and exceed GOTS standards. Read more at http://www.tilth.org/.
