Traceability & certifications
from AW23 - ENG
by Vinga
Our passion for quality and professionalism has driven us to strive for traceability and certifications in everything we do. By obtaining these recognised certifications, we can ensure that our customers receive outstanding products that meet the highest requirements.
Rcs Blended
The Recycled Claim Standard verifies (the percentage of) recycled material and tracks it from the source to the final product. Products certified to the Recycled Claim Standard Blended (RCS Blended) contain between 5-94% certified recycled material.
AWARE™
Aware™ uses a physical tracer (ceramic) to verify and trace recycled material. Items can be scanned to identify the presence of the tracer. Using blockchain technology the journey of the recycled material and the scanning data is recorded and made available to customers and end users.
GRS
Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard contain recycled material that has been (independently) verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the source to the final product. In addition, facilities from the source to the final supplier have met social, environmental, and chemical requirements.
Co2 Footprint Per Product
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a product is a method to calculate the CO2 impact of a product during its whole life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to the endof-life treatment or disposal.
OEKO-TEX®
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. In many cases the STANDARD 100 goes beyond national and international requirements.
