Sustainability Certifications
OCS100 (Organic Cotton Standard) certified by Ecocert Greenlife
The Organic Content Standard (OCS) applies to any non-food product containing 95-100 percent organic material. It verifies the presence and amount of organic material in a final product and tracks the flow of the raw material from its source to the final product.
The OCS 100 relies on third-party verification to confirm whether a final product contains the accurate amount of a given organically grown material. OCS allows for transparent, consistent and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of organic material content claims on products. OCS 100 covers the processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of a product that contains at least 95 percent certified ‘organic’ materials. It can be used as a business-to-business tool to give companies the means to ensure that they are selling quality and getting what they pay for.

Standard 100 by oeko-tex®
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and high product safety.
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless in human ecological terms.
The test is conducted on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog, which is reviewed and updated annually. In the test are taken into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements.
Product certification according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is modular. Textile articles can be tested and certified at any stage of processing, including the manufacture of accessories. The recognition of pre-certificates can save testing costs for subsequent certifications. Whether baby textiles, clothing, home textiles or decorative materials: Products carrying the STANDARD 100 label signal trust.

EVE VEGAN® label guarantees that the product is free of ingredients of animal origin (products from breeding, slaughter, hunting and fishing) and not tested on live animals. The method, manufacturing conditions and packaging are also subject to controls prior to certification.
PRE-CONSUMER RECYCLED POLYAMID OU POLYESTER
Comes from polyester production discards and PET plastic bottles that, due to production failures, cannot be used in the food industry and are recycled to produce recycled fibres for the textile industry (among other uses).
POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED POLYAMID OU POLYESTER
Comes from plastic waste collected in the environment, mainly in seas and landfills. We are talking about the tons of plastic waste found in the oceans, including bottles and fishing nets, as well as waste found in landfills and in the environment.
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD®
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled input and chain of custody. The goal of the standard is to increase the use of recycled materials. The GRS includes additional criteria for social and environmental processing requirements and chemical restrictions. Learn more.
RECYCLED BLENDED CLAIM STANDARD®
The RCS verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in a final product. This happens through input and chain-of-custody verification from a third party. It allows for the transparent, consistent and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of recycled material content claims on products
