Global environmental organisation Greenpeace has recognised SBA Group company Utenos trikotažas as the first and so far the only company in the world to work entirely according to its textiles procurement standard. Greenpeace has already started to produce its own t-shirts at the Lithuanian company.

Utenos trikotažas has already finished the first batch of Greenpeace's new collection and will continue the production later this year. The company and its partners have shown that for the first time ever, steps to avoid hazardous chemical use and contamination have been taken across the entire production chain, from fibers in the processing of raw materials, to dyeing and printing according to Detox principles, and finally to the sewing and packaging of high-quality garments, made to last.

The new Greenpeace standard is an example of best practice for any company implementing an ambitious plan to detox.
