Global Organic Textile Standard

Our fabrics for the techJoggers & the warmUp hoodie are produced according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), meaning their production follows strict guidelines and sustainability processes. Our fabric supplier from Poland is a GOTS-certified company and undergoes a GOTS screening every two years.

   

GOTS Label Use

Portance is not officially permitted to use the GOTS certification and thus the label on the final product because we additionally use FUZE™ technology as an anti-odor treatment in the fabric production. This technology is 100% sustainable and 100% safe, but due to its novelty, it has not (yet) received official GOTS certification. Therefore, we are not allowed to label our final products with the GOTS seal, even though they are produced according to GOTS standards.

 
We know it's complicated. But we want to provide maximum transparency and also raise awareness about certification bureaucracy & the industry. This way, you can decide for yourself what you think.
