OEKO-TEX® focuses on transparency and traceability and on the close collaboration with 17 research and testing institutes and leather manufacturers to develop high-quality leather products at all stages of the value chain.
The international association takes measures to foster scientific insight and innovation within the leather and textile industry. Here, a modular approach has proven successful to enable brands and manufacturers to greater sustainability.
The OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN label illustrates this concept: The traceable product label for all kinds of leather products implies the OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD for product safety as well as the OEKO-TEX® STeP facility certification that promotes safe and socially responsible working conditions.
OEKO-TEX® looks forward to meeting you from 17 to 19 September 2024 at Lineapelle (Hall 24 Stand N03) to learn about the complete OEKO-TEX® modular system, including standards promoting greener chemistry and ‘due diligence’.
Among the 12 emerging brands present at MICAM 100 was Servati, founded in 2023 by two young people from Lecce. The company presented its 3D-printed, modular and recyclable trainers.
The distinctive feature of this emerging brand is its research into materials. Each project becomes a case study demonstrating how resources considered waste can enter the supply chain.
