95% organic cotton
ID® is now pleased to be able to supply GOTS-certified T-shirts, polo shirts and sweatshirts made of organic textiles.
The Global Organic Textile Standard is recognised as the world’s leading standard for organic textiles.
At ID®, we have decided to pursue the standard’s highest grade – GOTS ‘organic’ – which requires that a textile product must contain min. 95 % certified organic fibres.
