Oeko Tex Standard 100
Our entire Accessories Collection® as well as many decorative fabrics from our standard line all have the Oeko Tex 100 certification. This European certification focuses on textile production and effects on human health. The Textile producers are working successfully to design products so that no harmful substances are present in any significant amounts. Manufacturers can work towards this goal by adopting recognized “environmentally friendly” working methods such as careful selection of dye-stuffs, optimization of the dye baths, chlorine free bleaching techniques, low formaldehyde finishing methods and by selecting pesticide and heavy metal free materials. By employing these and other recognized methods, the results of these efforts are safe products, which pose no risk to the consumer. Manufacture statement available upon request.
Many of our sun screen fabrics have the GreenGuard certification. This rigorous evaluation ensures that the highest industry standards are being applied to maintain indoor air quality for the health and safety of building occupants.

Cradle to Cradle (Link: http://www.c2ccertified.org, Logo)
The Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM Product Standard is managed and updated by the Institute’s Certification Standards Board. Unlike single-attribute eco-labels, the Cradle to Cradle CertifiedTM product standard takes a comprehensive approach to evaluating the design of a product and the practices employed in manufacturing the product. The materials and manufacturing processes of each product are assessed in five categories. The standard applies equally to all products across various product categories or industries.
Material Health: Product ingredients are inventoried throughout the supply chain and evaluated for impacts to human and ecological health. The criteria at each level build towards the expectation of eliminating all toxic and unidentified chemicals and becoming nutrients for safe, continuous cycling.
Material Reutilization: Products are designed to either biodegrade safely as a biological nutrient or to be recycled into new products as a technical nutrient. At each level continued progress must be made towards increasing the recovery of materials and keeping them in continuous flows.
Renewable Energy & Carbon Management: The criteria at each level build towards the expectation of carbon neutrality and powering all operations with 100% renewable energy.
Water Stewardship: Processes are designed to regard water as a precious resource for all living things and at each level progress is made towards the expectation of of all effluent being clean enough to drink.
Social Fairness: Company operations are designed to celebrate all people and natural systems and progress is made towards having a wholly beneficial impact on the planet.
