Textile Exchange introduces Organic Content Standard

The Organic Content Standard (OCS) is a new Chain of Custody Standard to track certified organically grown raw materials through the supply chain with the use of Scope Certificate and transition certificates, all verified by an independent third party, Textile Exchange reports.
 

The OCS will allow any kind of certified organically grown material now and is no longer limited to cotton. It will replace the OE 100 and OE Blended standards, within an allowed transition time, and combines them into one standard. There will continue to be options for labeling, according to final organic material percentages and whether it has been blended with its conventional counterpart. Since the OCS can be used with any raw material, it is relevant for industries beyond textiles. More information is available here: Textile Exchange
