OEKO-TEX® and TextileGenesis Join Forces to Enhance Digital Traceability of Organic Cotton

Organic Cotton’s Rising Importance and Traceability Challenges

Organic cotton grows in global use. It matters to textile makers and apparel brands. Buyers now expect clear and simple claims for sustainability. OEKO-TEX® saw a 381% rise in ORGANIC COTTON certification by the end of 2025. OEKO-TEX® and TextileGenesis join to fight fraud and slow steps in certification. They update key Transaction Certificates with a digital traceability solution. Each word here links closely to the next to ease understanding.

Digitalizing Certification with Fibercoin™ Technology

OEKO-TEX® offers trusted testing and TextileGenesis gives a modern SaaS tool. Together they use Fibercoin™ technology. Each shipment of organic cotton gets its own digital token. This token marks every step, from raw fiber to final goods. The chain stays digital and tamper-proof. The solution cuts out old paper methods that made things slow and hard.

Pilot Project Demonstrates Industry Adoption

The pilot began in early 2025. It ran through supply chains in India and Bangladesh. Groups from ginning mills to testing labs all came on board. Nineteen transactions were checked and cleared. Companies like KKP Spinning Mills Pvt. Ltd., Milan Ginning Pressing Limited, and Atlas Export Enterprises shared positive remarks. They noted clear steps, ease of use, and strong support. This feedback shows trust, honesty, and fewer manual steps.

Strategic Milestone Towards a Digital Future

Dr. Alfred J. Beerli, CEO of OEKO-TEX®, sees this step as part of a digital plan. Their aim is faster, smarter, and fairer certification for all. Starting with organic cotton, they plan to add more products and certifications soon. They want real-time checks and smooth data flows to stay at the forefront.
