The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 has enabled textile manufacturers since 1992
to voluntarily test the human ecological characteristics of their
products in order to obtain certification of compliance. The textile
institutes are internationally recognised, independent and work to a
uniform standard worldwide. In recent years, this has lead the Oeko-Tex
Standard to become the globally leading label for pollutant-tested
textiles.Junkers & Müllers has had all of its Mediatex textiles tested in line with this standard and received the label “Textile Trust”. This label equates responsible textile manufacture – from the raw materials to the finished product. For the users it means they are getting trustworthy product descriptions that help make the right purchasing decision. They can rely on the purchase of high quality and harmless products. The use of e.g. phthalates, AZO compounds, formaldehyde or extractable heavy metals is prohibited. Odour and emission of volatile components are also tested. The end-consumer can be assured of purchasing ecologically harmless products and can have complete trust in the manufacturer.
Through certification, Junkers & Müllers is aiming to send a clear signal and help its customers beat a path through the “green jungle”.
