Organic fibres are natural fibres grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), in accordance with the principles of organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a holistic production management system that sustains the health of people, soils and ecosystems. The cultivation of organic fibres is under the scope of organic farming standards, many of them defined by national governments. For organic fibre production, a certification to the IFOAM Family of Standards for the relevant scope of production is required. The standards approved under the IFOAM family of standards are officially endorsed as organic and include both private and government regulations. In Nox Levia, we use organic plant fiber sourced ethically and proudly to produce our own bedding sets.
Created in 2002, the certification body ECOCERT awards the GOTS label. As proof of the societal commitments of companies, it guarantees an ecological and socially responsible mode of production. In particular, it bans dangerous and toxic inputs that can harm your skin and damage the planet and promotes the use of organic fibers, which have now become a guarantee of quality. In addition, the GOTS label requires optimum quality to offer products that meet consumer expectations and environmental requirements.
Today, we have integrated this process and obtained GOTS certification for a range of our products; in the long term, the objective is to extend this certification to most of our bedding lines.
On each of our GOTS certified models, a special mention is visible on the label. On our website, the product descriptions will indicate whether it is certified or not.
The most important thing for us is to offer our customers ever more responsible textiles designed with respect for the environment.
GOTS certification guarantees as we provide proudly:
- environmentally friendly production and processing processes
- respect and improvement of working conditions
- promotion of the use of fibres from organic agriculture
- prohibition of hazardous inputs such as toxic heavy metals, aromatic solvents etc.
