ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

You care about the environment and working conditions – so do we. That is why WHITEWEAR is amfori BSCI member and we only supply OEKO-TEX®-100-certified fabrics.

Regardless of whether you buy clothing for yourself, your patients, or your team, or if it is bedding, towels, and cloths you need: you set high demands for your products and expect wares of an eco-friendly quality.

At WHITEWEAR, we demand much from ourselves, our suppliers, our fabrics, and our work processes. We regularly visit our suppliers in Europe and Asia to make sure everything is as it should be. We can present you with the necessary certifications and can offer specific audits, based on your demands.

OEKO-TEX​®

Our fabrics are all OEKO-TEX®-100-certified. OEKO-TEX guarantees you can have “confidence in textiles”.

A product may carry the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®-label when it lives up to the demands the standard sets:

• A label that guarantees a textile and all its components, such as sewing thread, piping, zippers, labels, or accessories, are tested for harmful substances and are harmless in human ecological terms.
  
• A standard with stricter requirements than the Danish and EU (REACH) regulations, making it an excellent tool to ensure compliance with the legal requirements for harmful chemicals in products.
• The world’s best-known label for textiles and fabrics (including semi-manufactures) tested for harmful substances that negatively influence your health or the environment.
