Dear Partners,
November is the month of auditing, renewing of Oeko-Tex and GRS, and addition of GOTS certification into our production & product range.
That’s we have chosen topic of the month with following questions.

What is GRS?
Simply it is consisted from average 70%recycled cotton and 30%recycled polyester fibers.
Wider term is contribution to the circular economy by protection of environment from textile waste, as well as water resources.

What is GOTS?
It is a certification system that environmentally raw materials starting from harvesting meets with social and environmental responsible manufacturing.

So Yasin, why market segmented with such processes & certificates?
Wisdom approach is answer that can be reached by mutual studies with academics and NGOs. In terms of business, our daily activities that all we are responsible to the our customers, we would prefer to answer,
Budget: Grs is perfect choice for low budget projects, while Gots is closer to the almost double.
Quality: Under to current lab studies shown recycle can never reach closer to the organic 
Responsibility: Both processes are strictly tied to environmental responsibility with different aspects. Each company has own principles and those are key in decision making process.

As a result, 
Grs is perfect choice of low budget projects, such as yarn dyed beach towels and custom promotional towels. Creates comfort zone for the company (importer&distributor) and never disappoint with BCR (benefit cost ratio)
Gots refers trust in quality and reason of preference in shelf of stores.
