Product Certifications
RWS
The Responsible Wool Standard RWS describes and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in wool fiber production and tracks the certified material from farm to final product.
RMS
The Responsible Mohair Standard RMS describes and independently certifies animal welfare and land management practices in mohair fiber production and tracks the certified material from farm to final product.
Merino wool sourced from farms located in NZ, Australia, Argentina and South Africa, and selected by New Zealand Merino. ZQ wool is defined as ‘ethical’ because it is selected and produced through a production chain that safeguards the wellbeing of animals, people and land. ZQ also ensures the quality of the fibre and it is traceable to the source. ZQRX is ZQ wool coming from regenerative agriculture.
Nativa is a 100% treaceble global wool brand. The standard covers animal and people welfare as well as land management. The advanced blockchain system guarantees transparency and traceability along the entire supply chain. Customers can track the journey of their wool, from the farm to the finished product.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is an international, non- governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC® certified Tessilbiella's entire supply chain as well as the traceabilty of the plant-based fibres we use.
GRS
Products certified to the Global Recycled Standard GRS contain recycled material that has been independently verified at each stage of the supply chain, from the source to the final product. In addition, social, environmental, and chemical criteria related to processing are required.
Process Certifications
Our policy of guaranteeing increasingly high sustainability standards has led to the adoption of procedures and a supplier selection process that complies with REACH regulation. For this reason we follow very closely any updates related to the application of the European Regulation for the Textile sector. We also pay much attention to the list of substances (candidate list) defined as ‘of very high concern’ by the European Agency ECHA (SVHC- Substances of Very High Concern) and all subsequent updates. We confirm these substances cannot be detected on our products in a higher percentage than what permitted by the regulation.
The aim of gradually reducing the use of hazardous chemicals in the production chain has prompted us to embark on an even more sustainable path. We obtained the Supplier to Zero by ZDHC certification, which allows us to meet our customers chemistry demand by implementing the best practices of chemicals management. By collaborating with Roadmaptozero we pay attention to the preservation of the planet and to the harmony between production and nature.
The market demand and our vision of sustainability have led us to find solutions for a lower impact production, particularly from a chemical perspective. With this goal in mind, we have built a well structured path for the adoption of the 4sustainabiility Chemical Management Protocol, that truly implements the ZDHC MRSL, as well as periodically measuring the degree of application in a transparent way.
