GOTS Certified Organic Combing and Fibre Processing at Seal International
At Seal International we take pride in delivering premium and responsibly processed fibres that meet the highest environmental and ethical standards. Our GOTS certification, which stands for Global Organic Textile Standard, reflects our commitment to sustainable production and ensures that every stage of our combing and fibre processing follows strict organic, social, and environmental criteria.
What GOTS Certification Means
The Global Organic Textile Standard is recognised as the leading international certification for organic fibres. It guarantees not only that the raw materials are organically grown, but also that every process from spinning and combing to finishing is carried out in a clean, safe and socially responsible manner. This standard covers far more than the fibres themselves. It ensures that our entire production chain, including the lubricants and auxiliaries we use, meets strict limits on harmful residues and wastewater discharge. It also safeguards fair working conditions and the wellbeing of everyone involved in our operations. For our customers, this provides complete transparency, traceability and trust in the quality and integrity of every fibre we produce.
Precision in Organic Fibre Combing
Our organic combing process plays a vital role in creating smooth, high-quality yarns from natural fibres such as mohair, cashmere, alpaca and wool. During combing, shorter fibres and impurities are carefully removed, leaving only the longest and cleanest staples. The result is a fibre that is softer, stronger, and more uniform, providing the perfect foundation for premium textiles.
As a GOTS certified mill, our combing lines operate under carefully controlled conditions. Only certified organic fibres are processed on designated machinery, preventing any risk of contamination. The lubricants, cleaning agents and water used in our process all meet GOTS approved standards, ensuring purity and environmental responsibility at every stage.
Sustainable Processing at Our Mill
Seal International has invested significantly in energy efficient systems, wastewater management and environmentally friendly lubricants to align with GOTS principles. We closely monitor our energy use and emissions to reduce waste wherever possible. The result is a cleaner and more efficient operation that minimises our environmental impact while maintaining the premium fibre quality our customers expect.
Sustainability for us also means continuous improvement. Our teams are trained in responsible fibre handling, careful machine maintenance and thorough quality control to ensure that every bale leaving our mill meets both GOTS and Seal International standards of excellence.

By choosing to process Seal International, our clients join a growing community of manufacturers, brands and designers who believe that sustainability and quality belong together. Through certified organic combing and fibre processing, we help create textiles that are not only luxurious and durable but also respectful to people and the planet.
