    About the certification

    Most of the chemicals used in manufacturing dyes & auxiliaries are highly toxic, non-biodegradable & non-ecofriendly. They are having potential for causing carcinogenic, reproductive & respiratory diseases.

    Strict environmental & ecological laws and public awareness has led to a demand for products that are non-toxic, non-polluting, bio-resourced, sustainably processed, etc.
