Ecological responsibility
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verifies the percentage of recycled material and tracks it from source to end product.
Products certified to the standard contain recycled material that has been independently verified at every stage of the supply chain.
In addition, certified organizations meet social, environmental and chemical requirements at every stage of the supply chain.
Buying products certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) shows that there is a demand for recycled content and best processing methods in the supply chain.
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It is an initiative that works to promote more environmentally and socially responsible cotton production. BCI works with various players in the cotton industry, including farmers, traders, textile manufacturers and retailers, to improve conditions in cotton production.
BCI cotton is produced according to the principles and standards set by the initiative, which are based on environmental, social and economic criteria. Products made from BCI cotton can carry the BCI logo to signal to consumers that the cotton has been grown in accordance with these principles.
These are the 7 principles of Better Cotton: Crop Protection, Water Conservation, Soil Health, Biodiversity, Fiber Quality, Working Hours, Management System
Lenzing Ecovero fibers are made with wood and pulp from sustainable sources, sourced from certified and controlled forests and plantations, and meet the strict guidelines of the Lenzing Policy for Hold and Pulp. The production of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose fibers causes up to 50% less emissions and water impact than generic viscose.
Products containing Eco-Vero viscose can be labeled as such to signal to consumers that they come from a more sustainable source.
Textile products at all stages of processing, from yarns to finished fabrics and finished articles, are generally suitable for certification in accordance with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
If a textile article has been awarded the STANDARD 100 label, you can be sure that all components of this article, i.e. all threads, buttons and other accessories, have been tested for harmful substances and that the article is therefore harmless to health.
Our chemical management is based on the requirements of the ZDHC program (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals). We use ZDHC-compliant chemicals to ensure the highest environmental standards, even in the wet process.
