What’s the use of Eko tex?
As we all know, textiles need a lot of chemical reagents in the production process. The raw materials of textiles, such as cotton, will also use herbicides and pesticides when planting. If the production process is not strictly supervised, these chemicals may remain in the finished products, which may be harmful to human products during long-term use.

From the perspective of consumers, Oeko tex ensures that the textile products purchased by consumers are ecological textiles harmless to health through scientific and rigorous testing methods, so as to better protect the health and safety of consumers. From the perspective of enterprises, okeo tex can help enterprises optimize risk management and implement social responsibility, improve international popularity and make products more selling points.
