The Eco-Passport certification standard from Oeko-Tex has been accepted by the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) as a level 3 standard for conformance with its manufacturing restricted substance list (MRSL).
This means the ZDHC has the highest level of confidence (Level 3) that textiles certified to the Eco-Passport also meet its strict MRSL criteria within the Chemical Gateway.
“Oeko-Tex has worked with the apparel and footwear industry for the past twenty-five years to eliminate harmful substances from the global supply chain,” said John Frazier, technical director for Oeko-Tex in North America. “Eco Passport is an important part of that work and proactively targets undesirable chemicals before they enter the supply chain. Recognition as a Level 3 indicator permits ECO PASSPORT certified suppliers to adhere to the strictest ZDHC requirements while safeguarding their intellectual property.”
