SUSTAINABILITY LABELING OF OUR WORKWEAR
At Blåkläder, we’re proud that a large selection of our workwear now carries the internationally recognized sustainability label, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN. Soon, we expect half of our range to achieve the same validation, confirming our commitment to climate responsibility, fair working conditions, and safe material choices. Our long-term goal is for all our products to meet these high standards.
“Made in Green is one of the most comprehensive and credible certifications for sustainable clothing, making it easier for buyers to make informed choices.”
– Ann Carlsson, Sustainability Manager at Blåkläder
MADE IN GREEN – FOR A CONSCIOUS CHOICE
The textile industry has a significant ecological footprint, accounting for more emissions than both air and sea traffic combined. Reducing this impact can be simpler than you think—by choosing high-quality clothing produced in an environmentally and socially responsible way. When you choose Made in Green-labeled workwear, you choose to actively support sustainable production methods.
WHAT IS OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN?
Made in Green is an independent sustainability label, verified by third-party reviews, to help you as a customer confirm Blåkläder’s sustainability efforts. This label ensures that the textiles you buy are made with sustainability, safety, and transparency in focus. When you choose a Made in Green-labeled product, you can trace the entire supply chain, knowing the product meets strict sustainability criteria.
SAFE FOR YOU AND THE ENVIRONMENT
To receive the Made in Green label, a product must meet OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, meaning it has been tested and is free from harmful substances. You can trust that the product is safe for both you and the environment, thanks to careful analyses covering every component of the garment.
SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
The Made in Green label also signifies that the product is manufactured in a responsibly managed value chain certified according to STeP by OEKO-TEX®. This certification ensures climate-smart production while maintaining high quality.
A COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Made in Green guarantees that your product is manufactured in factories that meet high standards for social responsibility, fair working conditions, and environmental protection.
“Having our own production offers unique advantages in terms of control over social sustainability for our employees and the opportunity to use low-impact energy sources like solar power. This is a crucial challenge for those without direct control over their own production. That’s why it’s essential for workwear buyers to demand that suppliers monitor and influence sustainability throughout the value chain.”
– Anders Carlsson, MD of Blåkläder
