Oeko-Tex develops new standard

Oeko-Tex has created a new certification for textiles that give priority to human ecology and that are additionally produced in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. The certificate is called Made in Green by Oeko-Tex. The Oeko-Tex association is based in Switzerland.

The Made in Green by Oeko-Tex label offers textile companies a tool for communicating to consumers about their commitment to sustainability directly on the product. Brand suppliers, manufacturers and retailers can have their production plants assessed, analysed and audited by Oeko-Tex institutes.

Using the given test number and a QR code, the textile and manufacturing process can be uniquely tracked. With the established Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and the latest range of Oeko-Tex services, the textile and garment industry now has at its disposal a complete up-to-date package which can specifically support companies on their path to improved product safety and sustainability.

The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is a globally uniform testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production. The certification covers multiple human-ecological attributes, including harmful substances which are prohibited or regulated by law, chemicals which are known to be harmful to health, but are not officially forbidden, and parameters which are included as a precautionary measure to safeguard health.

A tested textile product is allocated to one of the four Oeko-Tex product classes based on its intended use. The more intensively a product comes into contact with the skin, the stricter the human ecological requirements it must fulfill.
