Oeko-Tex publishes Eco Passport findings

31/01/2025
The Oeko-Tex association has published the latest findings from its ECO PASSPORT laboratory tests, identifying key substances in leather, textiles and chemical products that frequently exceed safety thresholds. The results highlight the presence of potentially harmful chemicals, reinforcing the need for stringent industry regulations and safer manufacturing practices.

The analysis focused on five primary substances: aniline, chlorinated benzenes and toluenes, formaldehyde, siloxanes, and quinoline. These chemicals, widely used in textile production, present environmental and health risks if not properly managed.
