If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless for human health. The test is conducted by our independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog. In the test they take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements.

The USDA Certified Biobased Product label is designed to provide useful information to consumers about the biobased content of the product. The label assures a consumer that the product contains a USDA-verified amount of renewable biological ingredients. **What is the BioPreferred Program?** The BioPreferred Program is a USDA-led initiative that aims to assist in the development and expansion of markets for biobased products. The program was created by the 2002 Farm Bill (legislation), and expanded as part of the 2014 Farm Bill. The increased development, purchase, and use of biobased products will reduce our Nation's reliance on petroleum, and increase the use of renewable agricultural materials. BioPreferred is transforming the marketplace for biobased products through two initiatives: - mandatory purchasing requirements for Federal agencies and Federal contractors - voluntary product certification and labeling

FDA compliant materials meet FDA standards. In addition to standards regulating what materials are safe to use, FDA standards also set rules for how these materials can be safely used when they are in contact with food products. In general, saying a material is FDA compliant indicates that it is a food grade material. It is made of the correct type and quality of material that makes it safe for food contact.

Green America’s Green Business Certification ensures that companies operate according to these general standards: - They operate a “values-based” social enterprise according to principles of social justice and environmental sustainability (values statement must be featured on website); - They are environmentally responsible in the way they run their operations and facilities, and in how they source raw materials, manufacture products, and market them; - They are currently selling products or services when applying for Green Business Certification

Owing to the comparatively smaller volume of waste involved, the temperature in a garden compost heap is clearly lower and less constant than in an industrial composting environment. This is why composting in the garden is a more difficult, slower-paced process. TÜV AUSTRIA’s innovative answer to this challenge was to develop OK compost HOME to guarantee complete biodegradability in the light of specific requirements, even in your garden compost heap

The BPI Certification Mark indicates third-party verification of compostability for manufacturers and brand owners to use on products and packaging and for consumers, end-users, and composters to use when determining whether or not a product or package is compostable.
