Nature’s Child GOTS certification is one of the highest standards of international organic certification. SKAL – our former certification body has changed its name and broadened its appeal by merging with Controlled Union. This has been a great development.
Our new GOTS standard for NATURE’S CHILD ORGANIC BABY ESSENTIALS covers the production, processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, exportation, importation and distribution of all natural fibres. The final products may include, but are not limited to fibre products, yarns, fabrics and clothes.
This means that every processing step must meet certain compulsory criteria. The criteria for the production process are laid down in the Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS). They encompass every process-step of textile production (spinning, weaving, washing, etc) and for every step it is laid down which processing aids may (not) be used, in order to gain as much environmental profit as possible.
FAIR TRADE is also a fundamental part of the GOTS certification. The Social and Fair Trade Certificate guarantees that disadvantaged producers in the developing world in the entire supply chain get a better deal by covering the producer’s cost of sustainable production and establishing a Fairtrade Premium which is invested in social, economic or environmental improvement projects.
Our accreditations and recognitions ensure that your organic product and systems have the highest possible integrity.
Ingeo™ Ingenious materials from plants not oil (information below taken from http://www.natureworksllc.com/The-Ingeo-Journey/Raw-Materials )
Sourcing Ingeo Raw Materials – Is not made from oil. Uses dextrose (sugar) from field corn as the primary feedstock, but can be made from any abundantly available sugar. Does not require gentically modified (GM) feedstock.
We Choose GMO FREE Ingeo Material – Ingeo is made from dextrose (sugar) that is derived from field corn already grown for many industrial & functional end-uses. In North America, corn has been used first because it is the most economically feasible source of plant starches. The process does not require corn, we only need a sugar source. This could include sugar beets, sugar cane, wheat and more.
