Fair and social production
This criterion includes socially acceptable production conditions and a transparent value chain for the products. In addition to internationally regulated social standards, there are a number of specific measures that are initiated and implemented by the manufacturers.
Pollutant-reduced production
Pollutants can have a negative impact on humans, animals and entire ecosystems. The manufacture of sustainable products is characterised by the reduction or elimination of harmful chemicals.
Recycled material
This criterion includes products with materials made from already used ingredients that have been processed into new fabrics. For example, many sustainable bags are made from ocean plastics: their production causes fewer emissions.
Bluesign
The sustainability standard for the production of textiles guarantees the highest level of safety for the consumer, responsible use of resources and the lowest possible impact on people and the environment.
Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
The GRS label distinguishes products that use recycled materials as raw materials and/or basic components. In addition, the manufacturing companies transparently disclose their entire supply chain with regard to social requirements, environmental principles and sustainability.
