OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN

Apart from proving that labelled items have been produced in a way that is safe for human ecology, environmentally friendly and socially responsible, the MADE IN GREEN product ID and/or QR code offers buyers the following information: 

• Details about the labelled item (e.g. material specifications, article numbers, colours, etc.)
• Contact details of the label owner as well as what kind of company it is (e.g. brand, retailer, importer, production company, etc.)
• Listing of the facilities on a world map that were involved in the production of the labelled article
• Information on what types of operation the manufacturing plants belong to (e.g. sewing, weaving, spinning, finishing, etc.)

Consumers and buyers can obtain detailed information about the sustainable production process of MADE IN GREEN labelled items by entering the product ID in the Label Check section of the OEKO-TEX® website or by scanning the QR code on the label.
