Advantages of the Oeko-Tex® Standard 1000

With the production-related Oeko-Tex® Standard 1000, the "Oeko-Tex® International - Association for the Assessment of Environmentally Friendly Textiles" offers companies in the textile industry throughout the world the opportunity to document the extent to which technical facilities at their production sites address environmental issues and to demonstrate this effectively to the public.

Companies which have set up an active environmental management system will enjoy competitive advantages thanks to:

• increased production efficiency, i.e. cost reductions
• minimised waste
• improved acceptance of the products in the market
