Technology and research for a more sustainable future
In recent years, we have invested heavily in technologies to produce fabrics with minimal environmental impact, and we have dedicated a lot of space to collections with fabrics made from recycled fibers such as wool, cotton, polyester and polyamide.
Our certifications
Our certification as a concrete tool for our commitment: the concrete nature of our daily commitment is demonstrated by the numerous certifications awarded. Available for our customers for a long time now, to verify the traceability and sustainability of our fabrics:
GRS
(Global Recycled Standard)
The Global Recycled Standard is a certification which ensures a high level of sustainability for fabrics that are produced using recycled raw materials for both pre-consumer and post-consumer. This certification allows an organisation to trace their entire production line from beginning to end and is perfectly matched with Milior’s philosophy as they have always understood the importance of using recycled raw materials as part of their collection, as well as using recycled fabrics such as elasticated polyester and polyamide.
GOTS
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is a certification standard for textiles made from organic fibers, such as cotton, wool, or silk. It aims to ensure that the entire supply chain of the textile product, from farming to manufacturing, meets certain environmental and social criteria.
GOTS certification requires that at least 70% of the fibers used in a textile product are organic and that all processing stages, including dyeing and printing, meet strict environmental and social criteria. This includes prohibiting the use of toxic chemicals and ensuring fair labor practices throughout the supply chain.
RWS
(Responsible Wool Standard)
Responsible Wool Standard (RWS-certified) certifies the origin of virgin wool by tracing the entire production cycle from the raw material. RWS-certified wool comes from sustainable farms that respect animal welfare, the environment and the economic and social conditions of the farmers themselves.
BCI
(Better Cotton Initiative)
The BCI cotton initiative is responsible for certifying the production of cotton taking into account some very important sustainability factors such as: protecting all production areas, seizing social and economical opportunities which may arise for all involved in the production sectors.
Higg Index
Milior has been a member of the Higg Index since 2019. The Higg Index is a module to measure the social and environmental impacts of the supply chain and the sustainability performance of the company as a whole. Specifically, the Higg Facility Environmental Module (HIGG FEM) assesses the company’s environmental management system, energy and water use, level of emissions, wastewater treatment, waste management, chemical use and management. The Higg Facility Environmental Module is a sustainability assessment tool that standardizes how facilities measure and evaluate their environmental performance, year over year.
