Etikway & Global Organic Textile Standard Certification for Sustainable and Ethical Production.

Etikway, is a sustainable fashion and project incubator startup that helps designers find factories that actually have the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification for their sustainable and ethical textile production. This certification is an important label to bring fashion designers and consumers to be aware of what is hidden behind the finished product. This certification demonstrates its commitment to producing high quality textiles that are better for the environment, workers and consumers.

Led by Founder Lucie Gomes, Etikway believes it is the responsibility of the company and each of us to care for the planet and its people. This is why it is committed to producing sustainable and ethical textiles and footwear that have a positive impact. Etikway offers a wide range of promotional products made from sustainable and ethical materials. Its products include t-shirts, bags, hats and other textiles, all made from organic fibers or using upcycling techniques and produced using sustainable and ethical practices.

GOTS is a globally recognized certification for textiles made from organic fibers. It establishes strict criteria for the use and approval of chemicals used in textile production, aimed at protecting the health of workers throughout the supply chain, the environment and the end consumer. GOTS prohibits all chemicals that do not meet stringent conditions, including flame retardants, PFAS and toxic dyes. Allergenic, carcinogenic or toxic chemical residues are not permitted in the final product.

By relying on GOTS certification, Etikway has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Its textiles are made from organic fibers and all products used in production are approved with GOTS certificates before use.

Not only are GOTS-certified textiles better for the environment and workers, they are also better for the end consumer. Consumers can be confident that their clothing and other textiles are free from harmful residues and are produced using sustainable and ethical practices.

“Sustainability and ethical practices are at the heart of what we do at Etikway, and GOTS certification demonstrates our commitment to these values,” said Lucie Gomes, co-founder, and CEO. “We are proud to have successfully partnered with 30 international designer fashion brands made in Portugal and we will continue to strive to help other designers join us in bringing people fashion from a sustainable and ethical production.”

Etikway encourages everyone to learn about textile innovations by regularly consulting this site and by supporting ethical and sustainable production and keeping up to date with its activities.

In conclusion, Etikway’s approach is to inform consumers transparently in order to help them make conscious and responsible choices. By checking the certification processes and by mentioning on these labels the certificates of the finished products. Our goal is to inspire factories to produce textiles that are better for the environment, workers and consumers, Etikway inspires everyone in the industry to innovate consciously and paves the way for a more sustainable future to preserve the health of people and the planet.
