OEKO-TEX® Partners with TextileGenesis to Digitally Trace Organic Cotton Supply Chains

Organic cotton grows in demand. This demand needs strong checks. OEKO-TEX®, a trusted textile certifier, joins with TextileGenesis, a Lectra company. They digitize Transaction Certificates for organic cotton. The process links related words close by and cuts long chains. This change gives clear supply chains and more credible certificates.

Rapid Growth in Organic Cotton Certification

OEKO-TEX® saw a 381% jump in ORGANIC COTTON certifications by the end of 2025. Consumers and regulators now demand clear, verifiable claims. This growth meets that call.

Digital Traceability via TextileGenesis’ Fibercoin™ Technology

The partners now join forces. OEKO-TEX® provides a trusted check. TextileGenesis offers Fibercoin™. Each cotton shipment ties to a unique digital token. The token holds the fiber and its final form in close links. This method stops tampering. It runs from raw fiber to finished product. The new system drops paper certificates. It cuts admin work for ginners, spinners, and manufacturers.

Pilot Project Success: India and Bangladesh Supply Chains

A pilot began in early 2025. It tracked cotton through 11 supply chain actors in India and Bangladesh. The test confirmed 24 digital certificates across 19 steps. Suppliers reported clear links between data points. They saw better ease, more transparency, and lower manual work. Their feedback shows the industry is ready to grow.

Strategic Roadmap Toward Scalable Digital Certification

Dr. Alfred J. Beerli, CEO of OEKO-TEX®, says this step starts their digital journey. They plan to use secure, data-driven checks with more products. They want real-time clarity and close platform links. These aims support a future of firm standards.
