COMPANY CERTIFICATIONS / MEMBERSHIPS
OEKO-TEX® STEP CERTIFICATION
The STeP certification from OEKO-TEX® is a company certification that confirms our responsibility as a business. It ensures responsible production for both people and the environment – with a focus on six key areas: environmental management, environmental performance, quality management, chemical management, social responsibility, and health & safety.
BETTER COTTON INITIATIVE
ID® is a proud member of the Better Cotton Initiative. BCI aims to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in, and better for the industry’s future.
“Better Cotton” is purchased through a so-called Mass Balance System and cannot be physically traced to the final products. By using the Mass Balance System, BCI can reach more producers, which means that more responsible methods are introduced globally.

This means that production must not involve child labour, forced labour, or any form of discrimination. It guarantees safe working conditions and fair wages. The rules also take significant account of environmental concerns.
ACCORD
The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, effective from 1 November 2023, is a three-year independent, legally binding agreement between producers, suppliers, and unions in the textile industry. It aims to build a safe and healthy Ready-Made Garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh.

USE YOUR T-SHIRT AGAIN AND AGAIN
LCA | Life cycle analysis
WHY PRODUCT LCAS CAN’T BE COMPARED ACROSS COMPANIES
A product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) shows the environmental impact of a product—from raw materials to disposal. But LCAs from different companies can’t be directly compared. Some LCAs only go “cradle to gate” (ending at the factory), while others go “cradle to grave” (including use and disposal). Companies also use different data and methods, so results can vary a lot.
LCAs are useful for improving your own product—but not for comparing with others.
“ At ID® we believe that the most responsible T-shirt is the one that can be used again and again.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres give fabrics a natural softness, making them feel pleasant against the skin. Effective moisture control ensures TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres support a natural dry feeling. TENCEL™ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.
BIONIC-FINISH® ECO is a fluorine-free water-repellent surface (DWR). The surface is made with dendrimer technology which is based on a non-halogenated, APEO-free and fluorine-free formula. This means that the final product is more efficient and resistant to water.
Recycled fibre is fibre produced from recycled waste materials. The waste materials are collected, sorted, and broken down to a stage where they can be reused as fibre. The fibres consist of 100% recycled fibres or are blended with new fibres, which are then spun into yarns that are either woven or knitted into new textiles. The reuse of fibres helps to minimise the need to produce new raw materials.
INDUSTRIAL WASHING RECOMMENDATIONS
The PRO Wear by ID® line is developed and tested for industrial washing. Below we have passed on some useful advice based on many years of experience which may contribute to optimal use and durability.
Our experience tells us, that there are differences in routines and methods in industrial washing. The differences that may be experienced could be in e.g. shrinkage and colour.
The following instructions are only a guide and serves as a supplement to our clients’ own experiences.
General comments
Always check the recommendation on the care label of the garment. The products are tested according to ISO 15797, but we also recommend own wash/drying test before use.
All garments should be washed at least once before taken into use. This is important due to chemical residues and excess dye from production of fabrics and to inevitable shrinkage (also for “pre-shrunk” products). Also to minimize possible surplus fibres/fuzzing from fleece and sweat products which are brushed inside, which disappears after 2-5 washes. We recommend tumble drying during initial washing of brushed garments to reduce excess fibers.
Consider shrink variations up to app. +/- 5-7% for sweat products and other up to app. +/- 5%, and fabrication tolerances up to +/- 1,5 cm.
Industrial washing
Do not apply bleaching and chemicals with optical brighteners on coloured products. Effective chemicals incl. chlorine, disinfectants and optical brighteners can reduce life time and influence quality/appearance of fabrics and accessories.
The indicated type and dosage from the supplier of chemicals must be followed closely.
Textiles should always be sorted/washed according to type and colour.
Wash the garments with the inside out and close zippers and velcro.
Avoid “over drying”. Choose the correct drying temperature according to the fibre type of the garment. Remember that polyester dries faster than cotton, e.g. fleece products.
Steamer (tunnel) drying may influence fit/shape and shrinkage pattern. Carry out own test to clarify possible effects from the drying method. Steam must be added to avoid “over drying.”
How to extend the durability of logos
It is important to choose logo quality and type (print/transfer, embroidery) considering the use and washing/drying method of the garment.
The wash instruction in the care label on the clothes also applies for the logo.
Harsh chemicals such as bleach etc. can affect the logo in wash.
Other ID® products in industrial washing
Other ID® products besides PRO Wear by ID® are used in industrial washing. However, it is very important to follow the instructions on the care label for such products. Especially for chemicals, temperatures and drying methods there are certain limitations which must be observed.
ID® cannot assume any responsibility for complaints arising from inappropriate use and/or washing of our products.
By any complaints, please provide 3-5 samples + information about the production number from the carelabel inside, extent/volume and a copy of the washing/drying process and chemical prescription.
We reserve the rights to make modifications without notice and accept no liabilty for any printing errors.
Quality clothing brings people together every day across thousands of professions, regardless of title, role or function. The clothing is a symbol of the community that arises when we are dressed alike.
