OEKO-TEX(R) Eco Passport certification for Graphene-Wear(R)
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering
group, is pleased to announce that the Company has secured
OEKO-TEX(R) Eco Passport certification for Versarien's proprietary
Graphene-Wear(R) technology.
OEKO-TEX's(R) Eco Passport is an independent certification
system for chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used in the
textile and leather industries. Operating since 1992 OEKO-TEX(R),
headquartered in Switzerland, offers testing and certification
services to companies in the textile and leather industries
worldwide.
In order to gain OEKO-TEX(R) Eco Passport certification,
Versarien's Graphene-Wear(R) was analysed to determine whether it
meets the relevant statutory requirements and textile industry
standards, and to confirm that no element in it, nor the final
product, is harmful to human health. The Eco Passport also provides
validation for garment manufaturers that Graphene-Wear(R) meets the
criteria for ecologically responsible textile and leather
manufacture.
Neill Ricketts, Chief Executive Officer of Versarien, said: "The
textile sector, in particular leisure and sports wear, is one of
the key focus sectors for Versarien. We are already working with a
number of brands, including through commercial agreements with
Superdry and Umbro, to integrate Versarien's Graphene-Wear(R)
technology into a number of their products. The securing of
OEKO-TEX's(R) Eco Passport will provide both these partners, and
other garment suppliers we are in discussions with, third party
validation that our products are safe, sustainable and
environmentally friendly."
