Eco-Friendly Options Available Through Our Trade Program:
RM COCO is pleased to offer organic cotton fabrics in not only our regular product line, but also in our ColorWorks base fabric offerings.
Organic cotton fabrics are textiles made from cotton that has been grown without the use of harmful pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Instead, organic cotton farming uses natural methods such as crop rotation, composting, and natural pest control to cultivate the cotton plants.
Organic cotton fabrics are free from harmful chemicals and are therefore safer for the environment and people. Organic cotton farming practices also promote soil health, reduce water usage, and support biodiversity.
RM COCO’s organic cotton fabrics are a sustainable and ethical choice for those who want to promote a healthier and more environmentally-friendly textile industry.
RM COCO is committed to promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of its products. As part of this commitment, the company is pleased to offer recycled polyester yarns in some of its products.
Recycled polyester yarns are made from post-consumer waste, such as plastic bottles, that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans. By using recycled materials, RM COCO is helping to reduce the demand for new resources and promote a more sustainable and circular economy.
In addition, recycled polyester yarns have the same high-quality properties as virgin polyester yarns, ensuring that customers can enjoy beautiful and durable fabrics while also making a positive impact on the environment.
RM COCO is proud to be a leading supplier of high-quality interior design fabrics, trims, and hardware. Our company is committed to quality, sustainability, and innovation. One way that RM COCO demonstrates this commitment is by including OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics in our product offerings.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a globally recognized certification for textiles that ensures they are free from harmful substances. This certification is awarded by the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Textile Ecology, and it sets strict standards for the quality and safety of textiles. The certification covers all stages of production, from raw materials to finished products.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics are tested for harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and other chemicals that can be harmful to human health. These substances can cause allergic reactions, skin irritation, respiratory problems, and other health issues. By using OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabrics, consumers can be assured that the fabrics they are using are safe and free from harmful substances.
The certification process involves testing fabric samples for over 100 different substances. The testing is carried out by independent, accredited laboratories, and it covers a wide range of substances, including carcinogenic and allergenic dyes, pesticides, and heavy metals. The certification also requires compliance with strict limits on the use of certain chemicals, such as formaldehyde and flame retardants.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification is voluntary, which means that manufacturers who choose to certify their products are making a commitment to quality and safety. This certification is recognized globally, and it is trusted by consumers and retailers alike. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics are widely used in a variety of industries, including fashion, home textiles, and bedding.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics are certified to be free from harmful substances, making them a safe and reliable choice for consumers. The certification process is rigorous and covers all stages of production, ensuring that the fabrics are of the highest quality and meet strict safety standards. By choosing OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabrics, consumers can be assured that they are making a responsible and healthy choice for themselves and their families.
RM COCO is pleased that more-and-more products in our product line are REACH-compliant. REACH-Compliant products have been tested for harmful substances and meet strict standards for human health and environmental safety. The initiative also requires manufacturers to register any substances used in the production of textiles and to provide detailed information about their properties and potential risks.
One of the main benefits of REACH-compliant textiles is that they provide greater protection for consumers and the environment. By ensuring that textiles are free from harmful substances, the risk of adverse health effects is reduced. This is particularly important for products that come into close contact with the skin, such as clothing and bedding.
In addition, REACH-compliant textiles can also help to promote sustainability in the textile industry. By requiring manufacturers to register and disclose information about the chemicals used in their products, the initiative encourages the development and use of safer and more sustainable alternatives. This can help to reduce the environmental impact of textile production and promote more sustainable practices.
Overall, REACH-compliant textiles are an important development in the textile industry, providing greater protection for consumers and the environment and promoting sustainability. As consumers become increasingly aware of the potential risks associated with harmful chemicals, REACH-compliant textiles are likely to become even more important, driving greater demand for safer and more sustainable products.
It is important that RM COCO fabrics certify that they are Prop 65 compliant for several reasons. Proposition 65 is a California law that requires businesses to disclose the presence of certain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. By certifying that their fabrics are Prop 65 compliant, RM COCO is demonstrating their commitment to transparency and accountability, and ensuring that their customers can trust that the fabrics they are purchasing are safe and free from harmful chemicals.
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the potential health risks associated with exposure to certain chemicals, and they are demanding safer, more sustainable products. By certifying that their fabrics are Prop 65 compliant, RM COCO is responding to this demand, and providing consumers with high-quality, safe, and sustainable interior design options.
Prop 65 compliance is an important consideration for designers and architects who are working on commercial or public projects, as they may be subject to legal or regulatory requirements regarding the use of Prop 65 compliant materials. By offering Prop 65 compliant fabrics, RM COCO is making it easier for designers and architects to comply with these requirements, and ensuring that their projects meet the highest standards of safety and sustainability.
