Since its launch, Eco Passport has certified more than 65,000 products, with 2,125 certificates issued to 1,400 customers in more than 50 countries. Analysis of 2025 test results by Oeko-Tex identified disperse dyes and vat and sulphur dyes as the product groups that continue to frequently exceed threshold values for substances including quinoline, aniline and dimethyl fumarate, underlining the continued importance of analytical testing.
Oeko-Tex also reported low levels of PFAS findings, and has introduced a new differentiation method capable of distinguishing between PFAS and non-PFAS sources of fluorine. However, it said that laboratories are recording an increased presence of total fluorine.
‘Chemical transparency is no longer a voluntary ambition. It is becoming a legal obligation,’ said Dr Alfred J. Beerli, chief executive of Oeko-Tex. ‘Eco Passport supports this systemic view by requiring certificate holders to maintain quality management systems, provide personnel with appropriate training and ensure responsible waste disposal.’
