Printoteca was the first GOTS-certified printshop in Romania.

GOTS is one of the most important sustainability certifications in the textile industry. In the assessment for obtaining this certification, not only are environmental aspects checked, but there is also an important social component that refers to the quality of jobs provided by a company.

From the beginning, respect for the planet and for people have been the core values of Printoteca. For us, sustainability is an ongoing process in which we have invested and will continue to invest resources, and obtaining the GOTS certification was a milestone in our evolution.

What being a GOTS printshop meant

• We were the only printshop in Romania from which you could buy decorated products that carried this label.
• We were audited by an independent organization that verified all our textile processing procedures from raw material to the final package.
• We are an environmentally friendly company.
• We are a company that respects its employees.
• The GOTS criteria can be consulted in detail here: https://global-standard.­org/­the-standard

The GOTS evaluation is extremely rigorous, which is why the fact that we, as a small local printshop, managed to obtain it, was a victory we are proud of.
