Certifications
We have aligned ourselves with globally recognised certifications, which provides the authenticity we believe is important. In doing so, we ensure fibres are verified so we can confidently deliver responsibly sourced textiles.
After a great deal of research, and alongside our supply partners, we decided to align ourselves with the below certification groups.
- Global recycled standard (GRS)
- Global organic textile standard (GOTS)
- Organic content standard (OCS)
- LENZING ™ ECOVERO ™
- LENZING TENCEL ™
- EUROPEAN FLAX
RECYCLED
-
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a voluntary product standard for tracing and verifying the content of recycled materials in final product. This standard applies to the full supply chain and addresses traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labelling.
Having our supply chain certified means our product is verified, giving customers absolute purchasing confidence.
TRACEABLE
-
EUROPEAN FLAX certifies the exclusive origin of flax fibre from Western Europe: France, Belgium and the Netherlands. EUROPEAN FLAX fibre culture has low impacts on the environment: no irrigation, no GMO (genetic modifications), no waste. Our entire supply chain requires membership to EUROPEAN FLAX and must meet environmental and socially responsible manufacturing requirements.
-
LENZING ™ ECOVERO ™ branded viscose fibres are derived from renewable wood sources originating from sustainable forests. Using an eco-responsible production process, by meeting high environmental standards, contributes to a cleaner environment. Giving us greater transparency and traceability from fibre to final product. Glassons have membership to Lenzing.
-
LENZING TENCEL ™ branded fibres are obtained from traceable and sustainable wood pulp. Produced by environmentally responsible processes, the unique closed loop process recycles water and reuses the chemicals, making it one of the most environmentally friendly fibres produced.

PLANET CONSCIOUS
-
This denim is made from 50% recycled cotton and 50% virgin cotton and is Global Recycled standard (GRS) certified. This denim is also dyed using eco dyes that are bluesign approved.
-
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
The aim of the standard is to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labelling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.
-
The Organic Content Standard 100 (OCS 100) and Organic Content Standard blended (OCS blended) applies to any textile containing 5-100% organic material.
Having our supply chain certified means the amount of organic material in a final product is verified, tracking flow of a raw material from its source to the final product.
Unlike GOTS, OCS does not address the use of chemicals or any social or environmental aspects of production beyond the integrity of the organic material.
