HOW DO YOU ENSURE ORGANIC OR RECYCLED MATERIAL CONTENT IN YOUR ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS?
Our sustainable capsule consists of items made with organic or recycled materials, or such material blends. Currently, that includes, but is not limited to, organic cotton, recycled cotton, recycled polyester, recycled nylon, and organic cotton/recycled polyester fabric blends.
To verify material content, we collect valid certificates from our suppliers. As proof of the product’s organic composition, we accept either GOTS or OCS certificates. As proof of the product’s recycled composition, we accept either GRS or RCS certificates.
GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD [GOTS]
The Global Organic Textile Standard [GOTS] is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent third-party certification of the entire textile supply chain. This standard also sets limitations on other fibers that can be blended with organic fibers.
ORGANIC CONTENT STANDARD [OCS]
The Organic Content Standard [OCS] is a certification for non-food goods that confirms the organic material presence in the final product. It also follows the supply chain from its source to the final product.
GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD [GRS] AND RECYCLED CLAIM STANDARD [RCS]
The Recycled Claim Standard [RCS] and Global Recycled Standard [GRS] are international, voluntary standards that set requirements for third-party certification of recycled content and supply chain. The shared goal of the standards is to increase the use of recycled materials. The GRS includes additional criteria for social and environmental processing requirements and chemical restrictions.
ECOCERT "COSMOS"
Ecocert COSMOS standard ensures ingredients are derived only from natural origin except for a limited ingredients list authorized in small quantities. On average, Ecocert-certified products contain 99% ingredients of natural origin.
Ecocert standard verifies the composition, processing, and packaging of the product.
The certification ensures an environmentally friendly and safe product that’s made with consideration of biodiversity and the preservation of natural resources. This certification includes other factors like the absence of GMO and petrochemical ingredients [parabens, phenoxyethanol, perfumes, and synthetic colorants].
