PLEASE NOTE: OTA has adopted the Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS), which it helped develop with other partners. Fiber Processing Standards as described below will continue to be used as a policy guidance document for interpreting GOTS. OTA members may view information about GOTS at: http://www.ota.com/m/communities/taskforces/gots.html.
See the GOTS web page at http://www.global-standard.org/.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: All fiber sold as organic in the US must meet the USDA National Organic Program rule for crop production, and if necessary, livestock production.
Thank you for your interest in the Organic Trade Association’s Organic Fiber Processing Standards.
