We are increasingly aware of harmful textile production practices and the impact manufacturing and consumerism has on the Earth’s environment. As textile importers it is important we find as much information as possible for our customers to make informed choices.

At this point in time, we can advise that our fabrics (Chinese Mulberry Silks, Triacetate blends and Tulles) are produced to the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex.

Oeko-Tex (International Association for Research and Testing in the Filed of Textile and Leather Ecology) grade and test products within the fashion industry based on their extensive criteria catalogue.

Standard 100 means that the components of the fabric have been tested for harmful substances (no harsh chemicals, pesticides or dyes etc.) and has been made sustainably in safe, responsible working conditions. Non-toxic to you and the environment.

OUR TRI-ACETATE RANGE

The main component of our Tri-Acetate yarn is made from the pulp of natural wood. This yarn carries an FSC® Forest Certification. This certification is given to products made from wood obtained from well-managed and sustainable forests based on standards by the forest stewardship council.

Our Tri-Acetate manufacturer is also a system partner for bluesign®. This certifies that the fibre products supply chain is sustainable in terms of resources, people and the environment. It also guarantees the safety of the people who work for that company. 

The Tylers Tri-Acetate range, by strict analytical tests, has also been produced under an obtained Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This ensures that when the Tri-Acetate fibres are combined with Polyester, the production does not include harmful chemical substances. This increases the safety of the product and provides the excellent function and appearance of our Tri-Acetate/Polyester fabrics.
