AWARE™

Aware™ makes data public to track and validate the end-to-end impact of sustainable textiles from origin to consumer. The Aware™ process begins with embedding a physical tracer in the sustainable textile at the source. Scanning, using the Aware™ hand scanner, enables instant verification along the entire value chain. Production data logged on public blockchain by every supplier creates a digital twin and virtual flow that follows the physical material flow forward. Every step is validated by Aware™'s digital tokens. This innovative platform transforms a system hidden behind private databases into a democratic, open, and user-friendly platform.

Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC)

FSC® forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. FSC® certified forests have earned their reputation for environmental credibility, protection, healthy forestry, social engagement, and the prevention of illegal forestation.

The primary goal of the GRS is to increase use of recycled materials in products and reduce the harmful social, environmental, and chemical impacts of production.

Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is used as a chain of custody standard to track recycled raw materials through the supply chain. The GRS/RCS logo ensures the materials used in the product are genuinely recycled.

Difference between standards

The RCS and GRS are the same, except that the GRS is a more rigorous standard; in the GRS, there is a higher minimum content percentage (50%) and additional processing requirements that must be met (social, environmental, and chemical). So GRS items have a higher recycled content than RCS items.

OEKO-TEX®

If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. In many cases, the STANDARD 100 goes beyond national and international requirements.
