Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
The new annual report by Oeko-Tex outlines what the body is doing to support the industry in moving towards greater sustainability as we move out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Georg Dieners, secretary general, said: “The past year has turned our industry and world upside down. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain challenges have made us all painfully aware of how globally interdependent we are. However, Oeko-Tex sees great opportunities in these disruptive times. The rapid progress of digitalisation and the increasing international focus on sustainability are having positive influences on society and the economy. Despite the global challenges, Oeko-Tex can report a successful year. In particular, our MADE IN GREEN by Oeko-Tex label experienced strong growth once again.”
The number of Made in Green labels increased by 108% during 2020/21, while a total of 31,696 certificates and labels were introduced during the same period. This figure was up 31% on the previous year.
Mr Dieners added that the Oeko-Tex mission has remained unchanged: to make the international textile and leather industry more sustainable, trustworthy and safe.
