A certification valid worldwide

In today's environment where conscious consumption habits are increasing, consumers are showing greater preference for healthy and environmentally friendly products, while brands have begun placing greater emphasis on certified manufacturers for product procurement. ARTA Tekstil, the preferred choice of global brands in woven and knitted fabrics, obtained OEKO-TEX CLASS-1 certification for knitted fabric production by preferring dyes that hold an eco passport issued by OEKO-TEX and can provide commitment to OEKO-TEX compliance. Arif Nalbant, founding partner of ARTA Tekstil, emphasizing that the certification will allow them to produce for babies and children up to 3 years of age, stated: "In our production processes, we are very meticulous in raw material selection. In this regard, we first perform level control of dyes through the ZDHC Gateway platform. Dyes that are Level-3 become our priority. Subsequently, we examine the product through INDITEX's 'The List' platform and approve products in Class A and, primarily, Class A and B categories as products to be purchased. Additionally, we also check whether the products have an Eco Passport provided by Oeko-Tex, as well as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, which documents the entire textile supply chain through independent certification. This way, we can conduct production that has no harmful effects on either human or environmental health," he stated.
