You plan on entering a new regional market and find yourself lost in the maze of sustainability standards and certification requirements.
If that’s you, we have a map that can help you get back on track.
This breakdown covers some of the key certifications in the textile industry, focusing on cotton. (Polyester and social responsibility will be covered in upcoming posts.)
The table makes it clear that no single certification covers every stage of a product’s life cycle; instead, each focuses on different aspects of the supply chain- farming, raw fiber, manufacturing, and finished product.
Feel free to keep this guide in case you find yourself lost again.
