Outdoor brand Marmot adopts ECO PASSPORT by Oeko-Tex
February 16, 2018 - Germany
Marmot, one of world’s most highly respected technical apparel and equipment companies, has implemented Green Theme International’s (GTI) Aquavent waterless treatment for breathable water protection in its new flagship rain jacket, EVODry. The Hohenstein Group recently verified an innovative DWR finish from GTI in line with ECO PASSPORT certification.
GTI’s marketing director Brian LaPlante said, “We feel that Hohenstein’s rigorous standards and efficacy makes them the gold standard in textile testing worldwide. That’s why we chose Hohenstein Group to vet our chemistry for our ECO PASSPORT certification.
After five years of research and testing, Aquavent was launched in January 2018. GTI’s new technology was designed to eliminate harmful PFCs.
The ECO PASSPORT by Oeko-Tex program can be used to assess chemical products across the textile and leather supply chain in a confidential process that confirms that the formulations and individual ingredients meet specific criteria for sustainability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Chemical formulations are checked against the extensive Oeko-Tex list of substances of concern and then verified by laboratory evaluation to ensure that they do not contain unsafe contaminants. The ECO PASSPORT certification is part of the modular portfolio of Oeko-Tex certifications and consumer labels used by over 10,000 companies. (GK)
