What Is a Sustainable Certificate?

The textile industry's move towards sustainability is being driven by the introduction of sustainable certificates that promote eco-friendly practices. These certificates are designed to ensure that products, processes, and companies meet specific environmental and social standards.

Sustainable certificates serve as a verification mechanism, providing assurance to consumers, businesses, and regulatory bodies that certain sustainability criteria have been met.
