Eco-Textile Guide Now AvailableThe publishers of EcoTextile News have announced they have now published a new eco-textile labelling guide. The textile industry has seen significant changes in terminology, focus and manufacturing processes over the last several years. As a result, this guide has been devoted to reducing the confusion which has emerged over standards and certifications. The guide was published by Mowbray Communications Ltd. and costs £12. You can order the guide by emailing info@ecotextile.com.

This guide for manufacturers, retailers and brands is the first one of its kind. It focuses on instructing readers on the newest organic standards. It also focuses on both voluntary and mandatory certifications and labelling. With the new emphasis on eco-friendly textile production, this guide is one all manufacturers and fashion industry businesses can use. The goal is to help businesses become more socially responsible.

Terminology and regulations can be confusing, especially when rapidly changing. The new guide covers organic textile standards and explains how to go about obtaining certification from a variety of companies. These companies include JOCA, Control Union and Eco-Cert to name a few. There is also extensive discussion about textile labelling criteria.

The EcoTextile News discusses organic standards, the certification process, label comparisons, legal standards, ethical labels and costs. You can also read about the various certification companies and associations which are establishing the industry standards. Any business involved in the textile business should review this guide. This includes retailers of high fashion and everyday wear like uniforms. The publisher of the guide plans next year on listing those manufacturers which obtain certification.

The rapidly changing evolving standards are a work in progress. This means it's important to stay abreast of the changes in order to meet industry standards. The guide is published annually and is well worth the price. It is expected there will be increasing emphasis on textile companies being eco-friendly.
