Ensuring quality and safety: OEKO-TEX certification for Kodak DTG and

In an era where sustainability and safety are at the forefront of consumer concerns, the demand for eco-friendly and safe textile products has never been higher. For those involved in the textile and printing industries, using materials that meet stringent safety standards is crucial. One such standard is the globally recognised OEKO-TEX® certification, which ensures that products are safe for both humans and the environment.

What is OEKO-TEX certification?

OEKO-TEX® is an internationally recognised certification system that rigorously tests textile products and their components for harmful substances. The certification is highly regarded in the textile industry for its strict criteria and thorough testing. There are several types of OEKO-TEX® certifications, each addressing different aspects of textile safety and sustainability:

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100: Certifies that the final textile product is free from harmful substances.
OEKO-TEX® STeP: Focuses on sustainable textile production.
OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT: This certification is particularly relevant to chemicals, dyes, and inks used in textile production.

What is OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT?

The OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is a specialised certification process for manufacturers of textile chemicals, including inks and dyes. It verifies that the chemicals used are safe for human health and environmentally friendly. The certification process involves a detailed analysis of chemical compounds to ensure they meet strict criteria for safety and sustainability.

Key elements of the ECO PASSPORT certification include:

Chemical safety: Ensuring that the chemicals used in production meet safety standards, reducing the risk of harmful substances in the final product.
Sustainable practices: Evaluating the environmental impact of the production process, including how resources are utilised and waste is managed.
Transparency: Providing consumers and businesses with assurance that the products they use are both safe and produced sustainably.
