CERTIFICATIONS

GOTS CERTIFIED

GOTS is a leading international standard for traceable organic textile goods, which has strict requirements on non-hazardous chemical input from fibre to finished product. GOTS is verified through product test and independent auditing to ensure social and environmental responsibility through every step of the supply chain. 

GOTS is measured on three positive impact levels: 

  • The nature & the environment
  • The workers in the supply chain
    For responsible working conditions.
  • The consumers get a verified better and healthier choice

RESPONSIBLE WOOL

A large part of our wool comes from responsible farms, where the animal welfare has a strong focus.

This means that the animals must be kept free from hunger, thirst, discomfort, fear, pain, injuries, and illness, and that they must have the freedom to exercise naturally.

In addition, requirements are set for the operation of the areas on which the animals live, including the protection of the health and biodiversity of the land

TENCEL & ECO VERO

Tencel and Eco-Vero are produced by the Austrian company Lenzing, which is a much better alternative to traditional viscose.

Like traditional viscose, they are made from regenerated plant fibres, but where production has previously been associated with several challenges in the form of harsh chemicals, pollution of aquatic environments and lack of fiber traceability, Lenzing has managed to develop a closed circuit where solvents and water are recycled, and they use fibres that are obtained from certified sustainable forestry.

RECYCLED MATERIALS

Traceability and accountability are crucial to us…

Therefore, we only use recycled materials on which we can obtain detailed documentation. In addition to ensure recycled fibres, it is important to us, that we can vouch for the textiles' health, environmental impact, and social profile, including responsible working conditions, hours, and wages, as well as the possibility of collective negotiations.

Basic Apparel uses synthetic recycled materials only such as recycled polyester – and only when we believe that it can fill a functional need. Your comfort and user experience are crucial for whether our styles have a good and long life in your wardrobe.
