Certifications: Which ones matter?
Functional Fabric Fair and PERFORMANCE DAYS are fostering a collaborative environment that helps drive advancements in areas like circularity, resource efficiency, and product innovation. For our Spring 2025 fair, we will emphasize the importance of certifications to ensure transparency and accountability in sustainable practices. We will be answering the question, of which certifications are required or recommended to meet the current product sustainability standards in the industry.
