GOTS – GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD
The GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS) is the most important international standard for the certification of organic textiles made from silk, cotton and wool and was developed to ensure responsible and sustainable development in the textile sector. Its broad international recognition allows those who produce and sell organic textiles to have a certification accepted in all major markets. GOTS involves the issuance of a third-party certified environmental declaration, certifying the suitability of the production and packaging process of the product, limiting the use of chemicals and respecting environmental and traceability criteria at all stages of the production chain.
FSC – FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL
The FSC® label guarantees that the product has been made from viscose fibres derived from cellulose from forests that are managed properly and responsibly according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit NGO and has created an internationally recognised forest certification system. The certification aims to ensure proper forest management and traceability of forest products.
Fratelli Vitali di Roberto is GRS certified
Certified by ICEA
ICEA-TX- 206
“Only the products which are covered by a valid Transaction certificate are GRS certified”
GRS – GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD
The Global Recycle Standard (GRS) is the standard that certifies the production of silk, polyester and cupro fabrics made from recycled materials and aims to promote the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and increase the quality of recycled products. GRS provides for the issuance of a third-party verified environmental declaration guaranteeing the content of recycled materials in their products and traceability throughout the entire production process, from the subsequent manufacturing stages, to the labelling of the finished product.
RAF
The RAF standard ensures that the origin of animal fibres comes from certified farms where animals are treated according to strict criteria for their welfare and also guarantees best practices in soil management and protection. Through the processing steps, the certification ensures full traceability of the entire production chain
BCI BETTER COTTON
BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) is the world’s largest cotton sustainability programme that promotes both environmental and social sustainability in cotton cultivation in low-lying countries through corporate membership. BCI member farmers implement crop protection practices (from responsible water use to preserving soil and fibre quality). The scheme, given the critical economic and political conditions in which it operates, is also committed to ensuring decent working conditions for its farmers.
SEAQUAL
Seaqual® is an initiative promoted by a large community fighting against the pollution caused by plastic thrown into our seas and oceans. The different tides of material collected are then sorted and the plastic, which is more difficult to recycle, is transformed into Upcycled Marine Plastic
Sustainable yarns
COTTON LINTER
Through a virtuous system of reusing a waste (cotton Linter) obtained from the woody part of cotton, a yarn is obtained that guarantees the most ethical and responsible ecological choice possible. The viscose and cupro thus obtained benefit from RCS (RECYCLED CLAIM STANDARD) certification as the production process recovers waste from other processes
NAYA
Eastman Naia™ acetate is an innovative fibre produced from wood pulp from sustainably managed and certified pine and eucalyptus forests and plantations
ECOVERO
Ecoviscose is produced from wood pulp, a special cellulose fibre that is completely renewable. The wood used in its production comes from sustainably managed forests. Up to 50% less water and Co2 emissions are used in its production compared to standard viscose
ECONYL
ECONYL® is regenerated nylon, a synthetic yarn derived from the regeneration of recycled plastic polymers. It is created by recycling fishing nets abandoned in the oceans, household carpets, industrial plastic waste, and fabric scraps used by the textile industry.
