Environmental Tick of Approval D’Jalma Puppo and Margarita Cortabarria

A

n increasing number of textile manufacturers around the world are embracing the need for

environmental certification. But as wool growers in main wool growing countries have been slow to acknowledge and take up this certification at the farm level, obtaining RWS certified greasy wool can be a challenge. Uruguayan wool growers have always been known to grow their sheep in the most natural and clean environment. Estancias Puppo SA, has recently been awarded RWS and GOTS certification for the wools they trade. Estancias Puppo exports over 2 million kg clean every year. The biggest customers are topmakers in China that take over 53%, and European mills take the balance.
