Most of them say something about sustainable raw materials or products. With the certificate for Sustainable Textile Production (STeP), OEKO-TEX\u00ae has laid down a standard for the production of textiles and clothing.<\/p>\n<p>EE Labels has always placed great emphasis on sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The use of Newlife\u2122 threads and OEKO-TEX\u00ae Standard 100 threads is an important example of this. Our weaving machines also operate on 100% green electricity.<br \/>\nBy signing the Textiles and Apparel Covenant, together with other companies we have taken steps to improve sustainability within the textile industry. But for Europe\u2019s most sustainable label producer this is still not enough. For this reason in 2016 we started preparations for the application process for the OEKO-TEX\u00ae SteP certification.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eelabels.com\/en\/what-is-a-step-certificate\/\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last January we were inspected for compliance with the strict standards for the SteP certificate.
