In a world where transparency and sustainability have become essential, it can be difficult to navigate the many textile certifications displayed on product labels. Yet, these certifications are the guarantee that your sheets, towels, or bathrobes are made with respect for your health and for the environment.
At Carré Blanc Canada, we pay close attention to the origin and production of our products. Our goal is to offer you responsible home linens that are beautiful, durable, and respectful of the people who make them. To help you better understand, here's an overview of the most recognized textile certifications and what they truly mean.
The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Label
The Oeko-Tex label guarantees that textiles are free from harmful substances for both humans and the environment. Each Oeko-Tex certified product is tested at every stage of production, from the threads to the dyeing process, to ensure it contains no dangerous chemicals.
At Carré Blanc Canada, most of our collections meet this standard, ensuring you enjoy impeccable comfort while protecting your well-being.
The Made in Green by Oeko-Tex Label
Created by the same institute as the Standard 100, the Made in Green label goes one step further. It not only guarantees that products are safe and non-toxic but also that they are made ethically and responsibly.
Products certified Made in Green come from factories that meet strict criteria in terms of safety, working conditions, and environmental responsibility.
This label proves that your Carré Blanc home linens are crafted with care, for you, for the artisans, and for the planet.
The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Label
The GOTS certification is the world's leading standard for organic textiles. It ensures that every stage of the process, from the cultivation of organic cotton to the final product, complies with strict environmental and social standards.
This includes banning pesticides, using non-toxic dyes, and ensuring fair working conditions and decent wages for farmers and workers.
Choosing GOTS-certified bedding means embracing ethical, fair, and sustainable consumption, values deeply rooted in Carré Blanc's philosophy.
The EU Ecolabel
The Ecolabel was created by the European Union to certify products that have a reduced environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle, from production to use and recycling.
Unlike other certifications, the Ecolabel focuses exclusively on ecological performance, reducing waste, water use, and Co2 emissions.
At Carré Blanc, this type of commitment inspires us daily in creating more sustainable and responsible home linens.
The REACH Regulation
Finally, the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) aims to limit the use of potentially dangerous chemicals in textile manufacturing.
It protects consumers and the environment from carcinogenic, allergenic, or endoctrine-disrupting substances.
Thanks to this standard, each factory must list and monitor all the chemicals it uses, a crucial commitment toward safer and more transparent textile production.
