In today's fast-paced world, we are not just concerned about style and comfort when it comes to our fashion choices. We want our clothes to be safe for our skin and kind to our planet too. Two industry certifications that embody these principles are STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® and DIN CERTCO.
Understanding STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®: More Than Just Fabric
As women, we deeply care about what we put on our bodies, and this extends to our clothing. STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a globally recognized label that confirms a textile's safety and sustainable production.
When a product carries the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label, it means every thread, button, and other accessories have been tested for harmful substances, giving us confidence that our chosen garment is safe against our skin.
Importantly, OEKO-TEX® also considers the environmental impact of textile production. It certifies fabrics with the fewest chemicals and the smallest carbon footprint, indicating a commitment to sustainable practices.
Embracing DIN CERTCO: A Commitment to Biobased Products
DIN CERTCO, on the other hand, serves as an identifier of a product's biobased content. When we opt for a DIN CERTCO certified product, we are choosing an item that not only comes from renewable resources but also adheres to high-quality standards promoting sustainability.
DIN CERTCO essentially measures the percentage of a product derived from biomass. This serves as an indication of how much the product contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil resources – a step towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
By choosing textiles and products bearing the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® and DIN CERTCO labels, we are contributing to a more sustainable and safe future. It's not just a matter of making a fashion statement; it's about making a statement for our planet and our health. As producers and consumers alike, we have the power to shape the fashion industry and our world through mindful choices. Let's continue to choose wisely!
