Understanding Refashion eco-modulations
Refashion, the Textile, Household linen and Footwear Industry's eco-organization in France, aims to promote circular economy principles by rewarding products designed for longevity, recyclability, and reduced environmental impact. The eco-modulations offer financial advantages to brands that adhere to durability, repairability, and sustainability benchmarks.
Among the key requirements are:
- Enhanced durability to minimize premature textile waste
- Increased resistance to wear, washing, and other environmental factors
- Improved recyclability and material traceability
- Reduction of hazardous chemicals and sustainable production practices
TESTEX: A reliable partner in durability testing
