LOS ANGELES - Garment maker Ustrive Manufacturing has become the first vertical clothing producer in North America to be certified to both the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Textile Exchange's Organic Content Standard (OCS), the world's two leading organic textile standards.
The company enables brands to meet organic criteria throughout their entire supply chain from cut and sew to dyeing, finishing, screen printing, embroidering, packaging and storage – all within 12 miles in Los Angeles.
GOTS includes both environmental and social provisions from post-harvest to retail shelf management, addressing all the processing stages - ginning, spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing and manufacturing - of products containing 70-100 per cent organic fibre.
