𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀. 🏷️ A textile product always needs to have a label mentioning the composition and possibly the laundry instructions. Whether the composition on that label information is always correct is doubtful, mainly due to the many different parties involved in the production of a garment. In the coming years, the textile labeling rules will be revised, whereby companies that sell textile products on the European market must indicate the entire production chain in addition to the composition. Being transparent means being able to show what happens to your textiles at every stage of the process.

This commitment to efficiency not only enhances our recycling process but also underscores our dedication to sustainability.
