Our Sustainability Standards

Discover the rigorous eco-certifications and ethical guidelines that define our product selection.

Our Approach to Sustainability

At Thakshon, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation of everything we do. We believe that creative expression and environmental responsibility should go hand in hand. That's why we've developed strict criteria for every product in our collection.

From sourcing raw materials to packaging and shipping, we consider the environmental impact at every stage. We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices, fair labor, and ecological stewardship.

FSC Certified

Forest Stewardship Council certification ensures responsible forest management.

GOTS Certified

Global Organic Textile Standard verifies organic status and ethical production.

OEKO-TEX

Certifies textiles tested for harmful substances and ecological production.

Fair Trade

Ensures fair compensation and safe working conditions for producers.

Understanding Eco-Certifications

We carefully select products that meet these internationally recognized standards:

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

The FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. When you see the FSC label on our paper and wood products, you can be confident that:

  • Forests are preserved for future generations
  • Wildlife habitats are protected
  • Workers are treated with respect
  • Indigenous peoples' rights are honored

Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

GOTS is recognized as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textile supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well. GOTS certification means:

  • Minimum 95% certified organic fibers
  • No toxic chemicals in processing
  • Wastewater treatment required
  • Fair working conditions throughout production

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

This is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. When you see this certification on our fabric products, it indicates that every component has been tested for harmful substances and is harmless for human health. The certification ensures:

  • Products are free from harmful chemicals
  • Testing for hundreds of regulated substances
  • Annual re-certification and updates
  • Independent testing by accredited institutes

Environmental Impact: Traditional vs. Eco Materials

Understanding the difference your choice makes when selecting sustainable materials:

Environmental Factor Traditional Materials Our Eco-Friendly Materials
Water Usage High consumption (up to 20,000L per kg for conventional cotton) Reduced by up to 91% through recycling and efficient processes
Carbon Footprint Significant emissions from production and transportation Reduced by 60-80% through local sourcing and sustainable methods
Chemical Usage Heavy use of toxic dyes, bleaches, and finishes Natural, non-toxic alternatives with minimal environmental impact
Biodegradability Often contains plastics that persist for centuries Fully biodegradable or compostable within 2-5 years
Waste Production Significant manufacturing waste and end-of-life disposal Zero-waste manufacturing processes and compostable products
Social Impact Often relies on exploitative labor practices Fair wages and safe working conditions throughout supply chain
