An article is any product, for trade or consumer goods, intended to be labelled with MADE IN GREEN. It includes a product ID and optionally a QR code.
The term business-to-business (B2B) is generally used for commercial relationships between companies - e.g. between a manufacturer and a wholesaler or between a wholesaler and a retailer.
An article group contains textile or leather products with the same use and style, always manufactured in the same way (i.e. identical production processes and the same supply chain).
Business-to-consumer (B2C) refers to the sale of goods and services by individuals or businesses to the end consumer.
Benchmarking refers to the comparative analysis of processes or performance indicators of a company with a fixed industry best value or recommended procedures of other companies. The myOEKO-TEX® platform allows different types of comparisons to be made.
Chemical bonding of nonwovens:
Production processes using liquid impregnation, foam impregnation, spray bonding or imprinting where fibres are treated with chemicals for cohesive bonding. The fibre surface is dissolved by synthetic chemical bonding agents (elastomers and plastomers) so the fibres underneath can adhere to each other.
Mechanical bonding of nonwovens:
Production processes where one or several types of fibres are physically entangled / bonded together with a mechanical process (e.g. needle- punching, hydroentangling and stitchbonding).
Thermal bonding of nonwovens:
Production processes where thermo- plastic fibres are bonded together or with other bonding fibres via thermoplastics or thermoelastic materials. The thermal activation is achieved with hot air or by using calenders and ultra-sound techniques (e.g., hotmelt, thermal lamination).
It is the confirmation of compliance with the criteria prescribed by an OEKO-TEX® standard and entitles the holder to use the OEKO-TEX® label.
Each certificate is assigned a number upon initial issuance. This number is shown on the OEKO-TEX® label (excluding MADE IN GREEN). If an OEKO-TEX® label is used, the customer must comply with the current brand statutes and regulations and the current Terms of Use.
The dashboard is a real-time "easy- to-read" user interface that displays multiple functions and information about current status, historical information, and key performance indica- tors (KPIs).
