Responsibility Product Standards
Here you can find explanations of the product standards and the cellulose-based branded fibres identified on the garment:
GOTS-certified organic fibres
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibres. The GOTS lays down strict requirements for environmentally friendly and socially responsible production at every stage of the textile supply chain – starting with a ban on genetically modified raw materials, to restrictions on the use of chemicals and dyes, and requirements for ingredients and production processes, to strict residue and quality parameters. The entire textile supply chain is subject to an independent and transparent certification process.
OCS-certified organic fibres
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) provides clear evidence of the percentage of organic fibres in a finished product. Depending on its level, the label OCS 100 or OCS Blended is awarded. Organic cotton is grown following strict organic criteria. For example, the use of genetically modified seeds is prohibited, as is the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.
RWS-certified wool fibres
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) ensures that the wool used comes from farms that consider animal welfare and sustainable pasture management. The use of mulesing can be excluded. For the labeled items, all wool fiber is sourced from sheep raised in a species-appropriate manner. Regular audits are carried out by independent certification bodies.
RCS-certified recycled fibres
The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) sets out the criteria for traceability and certification of recycled materials. OLYMP products comply with the RCS 100 label grades (certified recycled fibres accounting for at least 95% of the product) and the RCS Blended standard (certified recycled fibres accounting for up to 94% of the product).
OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN certified production
The OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN product label identifies products manufactured in environmentally and socially audited facilities. The supply chain can be transparently traced via the QR code or label ID on the product. At the same time, the label confirms that the product is made from materials tested for harmful substances, proven by a valid OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate.
