A small scale processing facility to help Australian wool producers meet the processing standards established by the European Eco-label for Textiles has been set up by CSIRO’s Textile and Fibre Technology.

Aimed at creating ecologically friendly stamps of approval for clothing textiles, the Eco-label for Textiles allows consumers to recognise garments made from clean, low residue wools that have been processed using clean production methods. The requirements cover all processing stages of scouring, spinning, dyeing and finishing.
