New Standards For New Industry Certification Issued By The International Environmental Textile Association

Recently, OEKO-TEX International Environmental Textile Association A new textile certification "MadeinGreenbyOEKO-TEX" has been introduced to show that textile manufacturers have the ability to produce textiles in a sustainable and socially responsible manner, which is safe for human and natural ecology.

The new label replaced the previous "OEKO-TEXStandard100+" certification and the Spanish logo "MadeinGreenbyAitex" certification. Spanish logo has been used by many companies, among which the most famous is the fashion brand Mango, which uses the logo to distinguish brand products. After obtaining the right of naming, the OEKO-TEX Association and its 16 member organizations will become the exclusive issuers of the new "MadeinGreen" label. Chinese enterprises can get more information on "MadeinGreenbyOEKO-TEX" through the OEKO-TEX international environmental textile association in China's official representative agency TESTEX Swiss textile certification company.

　　 OEKO-TEX Jean-PierreHaug, Secretary General of the association, pointed out that, as a rational optimization of OEKO-TEX product mix, the "MadeinGreenbyOEKO-TEX" label conveyed to textile consumers their commitment to produce sustainable products. Since last year, brand suppliers, manufacturers and retailers have passed the "STePbyOEKO-TEX" certification to evaluate, analyze and audit the sustainable production conditions of their production plants. As a reasonable optimization for this certification, the OEKO-TEX Association recently developed the "MySTeP" database to achieve the centralized management of the existing OEKO-TEX certificates and the best management of sustainable key performance indicators (KPI) in the complete supply chain. Through the existing "OEKO-TEXStandard100" certification and a series of latest OEKO-TEX services, we provide a complete set of latest service packages for textile and garment enterprises, and provide specialized support for enterprises in improving the safety and sustainability of products.

Haug said that compared with previous certification, the fundamental difference between new labels is the transparency it shows to consumers. By giving the test numbers and QR codes, consumers can be right. Textile and its manufacturing process Trace back. Compared with the "OEKO-TEXStandard100+" and "MadeinGreenbyAitex" tags, the application of new labels requires more stringent conditions.
