Recycled Claim Standard
Promoted by Textile Exchange, one of the most important international non-profit organizations for
responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector.
The standard recognizes the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and
consumption model, with the aim of promoting the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw
materials, water and energy).
It guarantees:
- Products containing at least 5% pre-consumer and postconsumer recycled material
- Manufacturing activities and processes through which the recycled material is used to create intermediate products (for
example: yarns and fabrics) or finished products intended for the consumer, which use models and management procedures that comply with the established requirements.

- limited and correct use of harmless pesticides and fertilizers
- respect for people and their working conditions

Organic Content 100: when the fabric contains at least 95% organic fiber.

certainly useful for reducing the environmental impact of the textile sector on our planet.

guide the textile sector towards a more sustainable fashion.
