Certification, testing and mill audits

Every claim on this site has a document behind it — or it does not go on the site. That rule exists because buyers audit, and because an unverifiable sustainability claim is a commercial risk, not a marketing asset.

Straight answers

Three questions buyers ask us first

Is the mill yours?

No. We work mill-direct with partner mills we have long-standing relationships with. What you get is their machines and their technical team, with us as the English-speaking front end, the specification writer and the quality check. We can arrange a visit or a video audit so you can judge the mill yourself.

Can every quality be GRS certified?

No. GRS applies to the recycled nylon qualities and only while the partner mill's certificate covers that production. If it does not, we offer the virgin equivalent and say plainly why. We will not label a fabric recycled without a transaction certificate to back it.

What happens if bulk fails the spec?

The approved sample is the standard. If bulk deviates from it on weight, width, colour or tested performance, the mill reworks or replaces the lot. That is why we test before bulk rather than after — the cheapest fix is the one that happens before dyeing.
