Regenagri® & GOTS certified cotton bales
19/11/22
We’ve got great news regarding certifications! We obtained the certifications on regenagri® and GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS) 6.0 in the US.
We’re very excited to be the first cotton trader to be certified regenagri®, an international regenerative agriculture program by Control Union, for securing the health of the land and the wealth of those who live on it.
regenagri® supports farms and organisations transitioning to holistic farming, increasing soil health, encouraging biodiversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sequestering CO2. Regenerative farming helps the regeneration of our planet and sustainably secure the future of agricultural products and their supply chains.
As all great accomplishments, we worked with partners (brands, gins and producers) to be able to achieve this and to increase our impact throughout the value chain.
With this, we can now provide certified bales that are 100% traceable from farm to mill.
