Certified Sustainability

FSC® certified

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification protects our forests and their communities from being damaged.

It shows we’re committed to sustainable sourcing.FSC-certified forests and the materials they produce must adhere to strict environmental, social and economic standards.

GOTS-certified

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification takes into account the entire textile supply chain, ensuring it’s environmentally responsible and follows organic manufacturing practices.

Having GOTS-certified products proves a material is at least 70% certified organic natural fibres, as it's traced from the field to the finished product.

GRS-certified

Many products claim to be made from recycled content, but how many are? That’s where the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) certification comes in.

GRS tracks and verifies the recycled material found in products and addresses traceability and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. If a product is GRS-certified, you can be sure it’s recycled.

Weavabel holds a GRS multisite certificate.

Carbon neutral certified

Reducing our carbon footprint is a top priority for us, making it crucial that Weavabel is carbon neutral certified.

We’ve been working with One Carbon World to measure and offset our carbon footprint by reviewing and transforming our production processes, materials, logistics and office locations.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 goes beyond sustainability. It ensures every part of a product, has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health.

 It ensures no harmful substances have been used throughout the supply chain which could harm the environment.

PEFC certification

Watch this space! We’re in the process of applying for our Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

When a PEFC logo appears on packaging, it provides assurance that the fibres it was made from were sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests. 

Recycled Blended certification
