STUTTGART - The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) has been authorised to validate brands' manufacturing and wet process compliance for Germany's Grüner Knopf (Green Button) government-run certification for sustainable textiles, adding to its existing status as a verifier of fibres and materials.
The German Ministry of Development (BMZ) has approved GOTS to act as a certifier for the Green Button 2.0, which aims to increase protection of people and the environment from the first version, which was launched in September 2019.
