Sungmin are pleased to confirm they have achieved Oeko-tex human health and environmental certification for the viscose, cotton, Modal, linen and Lyocell fabrics being printed and finished within the mill.
This is a world recognised certification to provide assurance to consumers that Sungmin fabrics are free from harmful chemicals and safety produced, protecting people and the environment.
The future is sustainable!
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and is the chain of custody certification that verifies that FSC-certified material has been identified and separated from non-certified and non-controlled material as it makes its way along the supply chain, from the forest to the market.
The viscose yarn used by Sungmin is made using FSC responsible and managed forests for the viscose pulp and the production is controlled to ensure this is not mixed with non certified fibres.
