Textile manufacturer ARCH has received the SGS Green Mark for its Magnif-ECO recycled fibre.

This certification verifies that Magnif-ECO is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles, giving consumers confidence in ARCH's environmental claims.

From Plastic Bottles to Fabric Rolls

The innovative process behind Magnif-ECO transforms used plastic bottles into comfortable textiles. First, the bottles are dried and shredded into flakes. These flakes are then melted and extruded into yarn, which is spun into thread and finally woven into fabric rolls.

SGS Green Mark: Independent Verification of Sustainability

The SGS Green Mark signifies that Magnif-ECO has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets specific environmental standards. SGS, a leading inspection and certification company, offers a range of tests for sustainable materials, including recycled content verification like the one used for Magnif-ECO. They also assess biodegradability, compostability, and the presence of harmful substances.

Transparency for Consumers: Trust Through Certification

With the SGS Green Mark, ARCH can now proudly display their commitment to sustainability on Magnif-ECO and its marketing materials. This independent verification builds trust with consumers who are increasingly looking for eco-friendly products.

Innovation in Sustainable Materials

SGS applauds ARCH's dedication to developing innovative, recycled materials like Magnif-ECO. This certification adds to SGS's growing portfolio of sustainable product certifications, including PFAS-free packaging and eco-friendly bio-calcium materials.
