ECOpassport by Oeko-Tex is an independent testing and certification system for chemicals,colourants and auxiliaries used to manufacture textiles.
Aims of the detox campaigne: Precautionary principles Companies take responsibilty over the production chain. Aiming at toxic-free production from 2020 Companies publish verifiable milestones,intermediate targets and test results. Extended producers responsibility(EPR) on whole life cycle of products.
