Organic Cotton Authentication Goes Paperless with Oeko-Tex and TextileGenesis Partnership

Oeko-Tex now uses a digital system for organic cotton certification. It replaces paper records with a secure digital chain. TextileGenesis powers the system. They work to show where cotton comes from and how it moves. The pilot project started in early 2025. The words in each sentence link closely. This makes the text easy to follow.

Key Highlights:

• Exceptional Growth: In 2025, organic cotton certifications rose by 381%. This strong rise shows market demand and a clear push for sustainability.
• Strategic Partnership: Oeko-Tex and TextileGenesis work as a team. They bring certification data and physical cotton movements onto one digital platform.
• Fibercoin Technology: TextileGenesis uses its Fibercoin technology to secure the digital ownership chain. The system does not rely on PDFs or paper.
• Pilot Scope: The pilot covers supply chain steps such as ginning, spinning, and fabric mills. Textile testing institutes in India and Bangladesh join, too.
• Future Expansion: Oeko-Tex CEO Dr. Alfred J. Beerli plans to use this method in more certification programs. He wants more product groups to join for better trust and transparency.

Why This Matters:

Paper certificates can be slow, fakeable, and hard to check. The new digital system speeds up and improves checks. It also cuts fraud and simplifies the rules for brands and suppliers. This change makes it easier to trust organic cotton claims.

Oeko-Tex leads the way in sustainable certification. With this upgrade, brands, manufacturers, and buyers can check organic cotton claims quickly and reliably. The move fits the rising trend of using digital tools for more transparent and sustainable textiles.
