Nature Coatings Secures GOTS Certification For BioBlack TX

Nature Coatings, an award-winning biochemical company transforming wood waste into sustainable black pigments, has received the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification marking a major milestone in its mission to drive sustainability and transparency in the textile industry.

GOTS is the world’s leading certification for organic textiles, ensuring high environmental and social standards from raw material sourcing to manufacturing. This certification confirms that Nature Coatings’ BioBlack TX pigment dispersions meet stringent criteria, including chemical safety, wastewater treatment, and fair labor practices.

“With GOTS certification, we’ve cleared a crucial hurdle that allows us to integrate seamlessly into certified supply chains and support the world’s most ambitious sustainability goals,” said Jane Palmer, CEO and Founder of Nature Coatings. “This proves that circular, carbon-negative color is not only possible, but scalable.”

Now approved for use in GOTS-certified collections, BioBlack TX stands out as:

• Free from toxic chemicals and heavy metals
• Independently verified through third-party audits
• Supportive of fair labor and safe working conditions

Already adopted by leading fashion innovators such as Levi’s®, Ferragamo, Kering Group, Jack & Jones, and Selected HOMME, BioBlack TX offers brands an easy path to GOTS-compliant color solutions without compromising on quality or aesthetics.

“This is more than a stamp of approval, it’s a passport to a cleaner, more circular textile industry,” added Palmer. “We’re proud to help lead this transformation.”
