Known Limits & Failure Modes
Low agricultural input requirement is the strongest part of the case and it is well documented. Processing is where the impact concentrates, particularly in retting and softening, and that stage is rarely covered by the certificate a supplier offers. Hand stiffness at low cost is the practical trade-off.
Commonly Cited Certificates

GOTS — Global Organic Textile Standard
The percentage is measured on fibre content alone, so zips, buckles and soles sit outside the number, and "GOTS certified" without a grade and a figure is an incomplete answer. Its site-level water and energy data is not a product footprint.

OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
A chemical safety certificate, not an environmental one — a virgin fossil-based PVC sheet can hold a valid one. Because certification is modular, check whether the certificate covers the finished article you are buying or only a yarn, trim or component of it.
