This decision encourages the promotion of products that have limited ecotoxicity and biodegradability, contain only limited quantities of hazardous substances, use less packaging and are easily recycled.
Created by the new biodegradability and compostability certificate. AITEXis a leading technology center for research, development and innovation in the textile industry.
This initiative is in line with the center’s commitment to promoting sustainability in the textile industry as well as in cosmetics. “The launch of this new certification is another step towards our goal of promoting more sustainable practices in the industry, which is essential to protecting our planet and ensuring a sustainable future,” he explains.
