SUPPORT IN THE SELECTION OF RECYCLED OR BIO-BASED RAW MATERIALS FOR TEXTILE FIBERS AND PAPER

Because your client claims commit you, it is essential to secure your supply of raw materials.

Because commitments to your clients are crucial, it is vital to secure your supply of raw materials. OSE SERVICES supports you throughout the process to ensure the reliability of your bio-based or recycled materials:

  • How to analyze technical documents for textile and paper fibers from your suppliers?

We verify the compliance and quality of the information provided to ensure a rigorous selection.

  • How to develop a raw material control plan for textile and paper fibers?

Tailored to your production volumes, this plan helps you control your supply chains.

  • How to perform targeted analyses of fibers, additives, and dyes in textile fibers and paper?

We carry out specific tests based on matrices and additives to ensure that the materials meet your quality and sustainability standards.

 

TEXTILES AND CONTROVERSIAL SUBSTANCES

What are textiles made of?

- Natural or synthetic fibers

- Additives (dyes, flame retardants, water repellents, etc.)

  • What additives are present in textiles?

Azo dyes, formaldehyde, phthalates, formaldehyde, lead, endocrine disruptors, cadmium, pesticides, phthalates, PFOA, benzene, chromium VI, etc. The list of components and potentially toxic substances present in clothing and textiles is quite long.

The French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) published a report in July 2018 on "Evaluation of the Sensitizing or Skin Irritating Effects of Chemical Substances in Footwear and Clothing Textiles."

In October 2018, the European Commission adopted a restriction on 33 CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic) substances for use in textiles.

New threshold levels for the presence of these compounds have been established, and the marketing of any product exceeding these thresholds is prohibited in the European market.

Do you have doubts about the presence of toxic substances in your textiles? Would you like to carry out regular controls? OSE SERVICES supports you in developing the analytical strategy.

TEXTILE CASE STUDIES:

  • How to Compare Textiles and Manage Disputes?

Whether to assess a supplier change or resolve a dispute, OSE SERVICES uses advanced imaging techniques and specific analyses to examine the internal structure of fibers and identify differences.

  • How to Verify the Absence of Regulated Substances in Your Textiles?

We perform targeted analyses to detect the presence of controversial or non-compliant substances, whether to validate a raw material or confirm a suspicion of non-compliance.

  • And in the Case of Art Object Studies?

Our experts intervene in the analysis and identification of fibers for works of art, particularly in cases of suspected counterfeiting or to support restoration efforts.

 

These studies provide an in-depth understanding of textile materials, offering valuable support in making critical decisions and resolving complex issues.
