Certificates
Nordic Swan Ecolabel
Most of our products are dyed at our own dyehouse in Denmark and certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. What does this actually mean for you as a DILLING customer?
To be certified with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, there are five things that need to be managed and are thoroughly checked at least once a year:
- The supply chain
- Raw materials
- Durability
- Dyeing agents and chemicals
- Working conditions
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel has strict demands for eco-friendliness in production. In particular, the dyeing process is subject to tough criteria – for example, it is not permitted to use any heavy metals. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel also has criteria covering good working conditions and high quality in products that will ensure long lasting products.
You can find our Nordic Swan Ecolabel licence here.
The five areas of inspection
The Nordic Swan Ecolabel requires that the supply chain is transparent. For us, this means that we know where our organic merino wool and cotton comes from, where and how it is spun, knitted, dyed, cut, sewn, packed, transported, and finally delivered.
Additional certifications
Oekotex 100 (confidence in textiles)
To produce underwear, you also need materials such as thread, rubber bands, buttons, etc. It can be challenging to find the right partners that meet our quality standards and adhere to our environmental requirements. We choose with care and look for certificates to guide us. As a minimum, we demand that such materials are Oekotex 100-certified. This standard proves that there are no harmful chemicals in the product. However, it does not say anything about how the product is made.
GOTS
We cannot produce socks ourselves at our sewing factory in Lithuania, therefore we have searched for a supplier that lives up to our demands for sustainability and quality. Our socks have previously been produced in China, but in 2021, we decided to change our supplier and the production is now solely done in Turkey. The production in Turkey is still fairly new, so a small part of our assortment of socks on our website will still stem from the production in China. Our socks have always been – and still are - GOTS-certified. This is your guarantee that no harmful chemicals have been used during production and that the working conditions set by the ’International Labour Organisation’ are followed.
