Sustainable lifestyle
There are many companies that are trying to make an effort to contain the impact that clothing production has on our climate. It is not only the companies' responsibility, but also us as consumers. It is difficult to meet the specific requirements of the different brands. If the company has to change production methods, we as consumers must also change our purchasing behavior with a view to helping the climate.
You, as a consumer, can by purchasing products that have a GOTS certification
(Global Organic Textile Standard). GOTS is an international environmental label for organic textile production, developed by leading international certification bodies. All to ensure that consumers have quality assurance at the highest level of both production and social responsibility. GOTS is the internationally leading organic certification mark within the textile industry. GOTS has defined very high environmental criteria throughout the entire production process. A number of criteria are included in the certification process, which include that the product must contain organic textiles and that the working conditions are not harmful to health. GOTS requires as standard that almost 100% of the fibers in the clothing are organic.
GOTS sets requirements for the chemicals that the manufacturer uses during production itself. The chemicals used must not be toxic, carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting or harmful to the environment. Several specific substances are prohibited in production, such as Phthalates and nonylphenol ethoxylates, as well as heavy metals, flame retardants and azo dyes must also not occur during production.
Tintoks products are all GOTS certified - without exception. We sincerely want to spread the word, to actively make a decision to live and buy sustainable products that you can use in your everyday life with a clear conscience.
