NSF adds certification for footwear
11/10/2017
"We now offer a full range of sustainable third-party certifications including recycled and organic content, traceable down and responsible wool," said Jenny Oorbeck, general manager of sustainability at NSF International.
“We can apply NSF International's 70-plus years of certification expertise, global presence and quality to help the textile, footwear and apparel industries improve their sustainability, traceability and transparency."
NSF certification portfolio now includes:
• The Textile Exchange Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in a final product through chain of custody verification.
• The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verifies responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in the production of finished and intermediate products containing recycled content. The standard covers processing, manufacturing, packaging, labelling, trading and distribution of all products made with a minimum of 20% recycled material
• The Textile Exchange Organic Content Standard (OCS) provides third-party verification of organic material content in a product, addressing raw material verification throughout the harvest, processing and manufacturing activities.
• Textile Exchange's Content Claim Standard (CCS) serves as the chain of custody foundation for the above content claim standards. The CCS verifies the presence and amount of raw material in a final product, allowing for transparent, consistent and comprehensive independent evaluation and verification of material content claims on products.
