The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol sets industry-wide standards for sustainable cotton

Today’s consumers are increasingly demanding transparency from the brands they buy. They want the guarantee that the products they purchase are ethically and sustainably manufactured and that each facet of the supply chain - be it the individuals involved or the environment - is protected and sustained.

With the extra backing from the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, manufacturers like Cap Yarns, who have perfected the sustainable yarn production process, can ultimately help their brand and retail customers reach their own sustainability targets.

That’s because the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol lets brands, businesses and consumers trust in the cotton they buy, sell, and wear. By establishing verifiable goals and measurements, they set industry-wide standards for sustainable field-to-market cotton production in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Farms and manufacturers aligned with the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol have the data-driven results to prove their commitment to protecting the planet and its people; today and for future generations. Trust Protocol’s key sustainability benchmarks will continue to drive improvements in multiple industry sectors, including land use, soil health, water management, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI reshape textile processing

Investment decisions in textile processing have become increasingly complex. Rising energy prices, labour shortages and geopolitical uncertainties are forcing companies to prioritise technologies that deliver measurable improvements in efficiency and process stability. This applies not only to apparel production, but also to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. Modernisation projects are therefore being evaluated more selectively – but the pressure to upgrade production systems continues to grow. Texprocess 2026 reflects this tension between cautious investment behaviour and increasing technological demand.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.
