OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is an international certification provided by the OEKO-TEX Association to give to products made from textiles that have been
tested for over 100 harmful substances that are dangerous to human health and the environment.

Recycled polyester (RPET) is now widespread in various industries such as fashion, textile, apparel, furniture, and mattress. In addition, many big brands use recycled polyester as raw materials to produce and promote their products with tags of Global Recycling Standards (GRS), which prove the authenticity of recycled products and add value to their brands.

Recycled polyester is a synthetic fiber. It is made by recycling plastic water bottles, post-industrial waste, or other post-consumer plastics. Compared to virgin polyester, its properties, usage, and maintenance are almost the same as virgin polyester. But recycled polyester is much more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

A recycled polyester is a sustainable option for the textile business nowadays. The production of recycled polyester requires far fewer resources and
generates fewer carbon dioxide emissions. Besides, it has the same durability as regular polyester.
