NSF International’s certifications help companies show commitment to sustainability, transparency and traceability. As consumers seek greater transparency in the products they purchase, NSF International’s third-party validation of textile content claims helps support and protect brands and strengthen customer trust.
NSF is a global, independent organisation that works to protect the environment and human health. It offers a full range of sustainable third-party certifications including recycled and organic content, traceable down and responsible wool. NSF’s 70-plus years of certification expertise, global presence and quality are designed to help the textile, footwear and apparel industries improve their sustainability, traceability and transparency.
NSF is now an approved certification body for three additional Textile Exchange standards pertaining to organic content, wool and down. The Textile Exchange Recycled Claim Standard verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in a final product through chain of custody verification. The Global Recycled Standard verifies responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in the production of both finished and intermediate products containing recycled content. The standard covers processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, trading and distribution of all products made with a minimum of 20 per cent recycled material. The Textile Exchange Organic Content Standard provides third-party verification of organic material content in a product.
