12 January 2022, Mumbai:
Oeko-Tex® has introduced a new 'impact calculator' for the textile and leather sectors, which is made up of 17 independent research and testing institutions in Europe and Japan.
Individual production sites may use the new impact calculator to determine the most serious effects of CO2 emissions and water usage, set reduction goals, and exchange statistics on carbon and water footprints.
In addition, Oeko-Tex® will provide RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS by Oeko-Tex®, a new corporate due diligence certification.
In addition, the Oeko-Tex® Association has announced adjustments to test criteria, limit values, and certification requirements for the next year.
All new regulations will take effect when the transition period concludes on April 1, 2022. The impact calculator was created by Oeko-Tex® to stimulate progress and data exchange throughout the global supply chain.
The application assesses the carbon and water footprints of each process step, as well as the entire process and one kilogram of material or product.
According to Georg Dieners, Secretary-General of Oeko-Tex®, openness is essential for assessing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage in supply chains.
The principle of offering specific answers to the industry's issues has driven Oeko-Texyears ® 's commitment to enterprises and customers. Oeko-Tex® continues to develop scientific solutions and digital platforms to help their clients regulate processes in terms of environmental and social consequences. The incorporation of CO2 emissions and water consumption guidelines is a sensible step toward more transparency.
