The Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) conference will be held in India on May 22, 2015. India happens to have the most Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) certified facilities globally.
The conference aims to raise awareness about organic textiles and provide guidance and technical information about the GOTS standard. Issues covered at the event will include: GOTS water-energy tool, the GOTS audit checklist and methodology, testing nuances including risk assessment, test methods and sampling and industry perspectives on benefits and practical difficulties associated with organic cotton.
Panel discussions will also take place on brand expectations from organic textiles and transcending the supply chain for organic textiles. GOTS is recognised as the leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers and serves as a credible third party assurance for such textiles.
The conference will be a great opportunity for brands to directly interact with their suppliers in India, the biggest sourcing destination for organic textiles- and other Asian countries. Apart from technical learning, it will also provide a platform for buyer-seller linkages and international networking. India is the largest producer of organic cotton in the world and the largest processing and export market of textiles using organic fibers.
