Oeko-Tex Leads Paperless Transformation in Organic Cotton Authentication
January 27, 2026 | By Jennifer Marks, Editor in Chief
Oeko-Tex drives change; it shifts paper certificates to digital proof. The association grew organic cotton certification by 381% in 2025. Oeko-Tex now partners with TextileGenesis. This alliance connects each step of verification tightly. TextileGenesis is a traceability platform for textiles. It links data from raw cotton to certified products.
Key Highlights:
- Digital Innovation: TextileGenesis, a Lectra company, uses Fibercoin technology to build secure digital links. These links protect each organic cotton certificate.
- Pilot Program Scope: The pilot began early in 2025. It works in India and Bangladesh. It connects ginning, spinning, fabric mills, and testing labs.
- Fraud Prevention: The system joins data on material movement and digital certification. Each link is near its neighbor, making fraud hard to hide.
- Future Expansion: Dr. Alfred J. Beerli, Oeko-Tex CEO, says the linked system may grow. Other Oeko-Tex certifications and products may soon join this digital chain.
Impact on Sustainable Textiles:
This paperless shift builds clear connections in organic cotton supply chains. It meets consumer demand for certified, eco-friendly textiles. By ending scattered documents, Oeko-Tex and TextileGenesis join forces to cut fraud. They build strong, sustainable links in textile certification.
For brands and manufacturers committed to green practices, tracking Oeko-Tex’s digital steps is key to strong organic cotton credentials.
