OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN

OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN is a traceable product label for all kinds of textiles and leather products that have been manufactured in environmentally friendly facilities under safe and socially responsible working conditions. The MADE IN GREEN label also reassures consumers that the textile or leather product is made of materials that have been tested for harmful substances.

MADE IN GREEN ensures:

Environmentally friendly production

optimisation of chemical management (e.g., risk management during dying and printing, ban and substitution of hazardous chemicals)
responsible handling of wastewater and emissions (e.g., reduction of carbon footprint and water usage)
protection of resources (e.g., use of renewable energies and best-available technologies)
waste management (e.g., recycling of textile waste)

Product and consumer safety

health safety: testing of products for harmful substances (e.g., carcinogenic dyes, heavy metals, and pesticides)
testing of all components of an article, i.e. every threads, buttons and other accessories
testing of product quality (e.g., colourfastness)
annual update of criteria in line with the most recent scientific findings and statutory requirements

Social responsibility

fair working conditions (e.g. check working hours and wage payments)
ban of forced and child labor
occupational safety (e.g. through fire protection, building safety and protective equipment)
health protection (e.g. inspection of working conditions for noise, dust and heat).
