Made in Green
Made in Green by OEKO-TEX is a textile traceability label: it guarantees that an article has been tested for harmful substances and made in factories that respect the environment and their workers, then lets you trace where it was produced through a unique ID on its label.
Made in Green in practice
The label assembles two existing Oeko-Tex certifications. The finished product must first pass the Standard 100 tests against substances harmful to the skin. Its production sites must then be STeP certified, the Oeko-Tex framework that audits factories: chemical management, environmental impact, safety and working conditions. Where the classic Oeko-Tex label only looks at the garment, Made in Green also looks at the factory.
Its signature is traceability: every article carries a product ID, often doubled by a QR code, on its label. Entered on the official site oeko-tex.com, it shows in which countries and at which stages the textile was made: garment making, dyeing, finishing. The person wearing the garment can check for themselves, without asking the brand anything. Like the other Oeko-Tex labels, it renews every year.
What Made in Green doesn't say: nothing about the fiber's origin. A labeled article can be conventional cotton or virgin polyester; organic is the territory of GOTS. For merch, it remains rarer than Standard 100 alone on customizable textile catalogs: requiring certification of the factories, not just the product, rules out many references.
What to remember
- Made in Green stacks a tested product (Standard 100) and audited factories (STeP): the only Oeko-Tex label covering both.
- The unique ID on the label traces the countries and the production stages of the article.
- It doesn't guarantee organic fiber: for organic, that's GOTS.
Preguntas frecuentes
How do you find out where a Made in Green garment was made?
Through the product ID printed on its label, or its QR code: entered into the official Oeko-Tex verification tool, it shows the article's production stages and the countries where they took place. That's the feature that sets Made in Green apart from the other Oeko-Tex labels.
