ZURICH - Testing and certification organisation Oeko-Tex's Made in Green sustainability label now includes leather products under newly updated guidelines which come fully into effect in April.
Oeko-Tex says its guidelines, including test criteria and limit values, have been updated to bring them into line with the requirements of consistent consumer protection and the sustainability of textiles and leather products.
Following a transition period, all of the new regulations will come fully into effect on 1st April. The expansion of the Made in Green label to include leather products follows the addition of leather to the organisation's STeP certification last year.
