10 years of transparency, responsibility and traceability
OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN marks a decade as a global sustainability label
Launched in 2015, the OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label stands for tested product safety, more sustainable manufacturing processes and improved working conditions throughout global supply chains.
"Brands and retailers must remain at the forefront of both current and emerging consumer expectations, as well as evolving regulatory requirements, which increasingly scrutinise the entire production history of a given product,” says Jean-Pierre Haug, COO of Testex, an OEKO-TEX® institute.
“MADE IN GREEN offers a valuable solution for brands and retailers seeking to convey confidence and trust at the point of sale."
Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, OEKO-TEX® reflects on the continued growth and impact of MADE IN GREEN as it drives transparency and social responsibility across the sector.
Response to Rana Plaza: The origins of MADE IN GREEN
The MADE IN GREEN label was developed in April 2015 with a mission to set new benchmarks for transparency. The Rana Plaza textile factory collapse triggered global awareness of social and environmental responsibility in the textile industry. OEKO-TEX®, with two decades of promoting transparency and trust in supply chains, created MADE IN GREEN to set a new standard. By integrating multiple certifications into one traceable and consumer-facing label, it communicates verified safety, sustainability and social responsibility in a single, traceable product label.
Combined product safety as a foundation
Products bearing the OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label signify verified product safety, environmentally responsible manufacturing and fair working conditions across the supply chain.
To qualify for the label product certification according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, ORGANIC COTTON or LEATHER STANDARD is required.
Happy birthday OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN!
