Bio Balance is a 100% organic blend yarn that is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). GOTS is a textile production certification that limits the use of toxic bleaches, dyes and other chemical inputs during the production process of textiles. To obtain the GOTS “organic” label, a product must:

1. Contain at least 95% organic fiber,
2. Not be treated with bleach, formaldehyde or any other toxic substances,
3. Be colored with nontoxic dyes,
4. Be produced in a mill that enforces strict social and environmental standards, treating their employees and the earth with deep respect. GOTS certification means that our products meet the very highest standards.

GOTS certification requires that all stages of the production are ecologically, environmentally, and ethically sustainable from start to finish. The growing conditions, dye processes, waste water treatment, and fair and ethical working conditions must meet GOTS standards.
