AWARE™
Aware™ uses a physical tracer (ceramic) to verify and trace recycled material. Items can be scanned to identify the presence of the tracer. Using blockchain technology the journey of the recycled material and the scanning data is recorded and made available to customers and end users.
FSC®
The Forest Stewardship Council® is an international non-governmental organization that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically sustainable management of the world’s forests.
GRS
Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard contain recycled material that has been (independently) verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the source to the final product. In addition, facilities from the source to the final supplier have met social, environmental, and chemical requirements.
RCS
The Recycled Claim Standard verifies (the percentage of) recycled material and tracks it from the source to the final product. Products certified to the Recycled Claim Standard Blended (RCS Blended) contain between 5-94% certified recycled material.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. In many cases the STANDARD 100 goes beyond national and international requirements.
