Sustainability
At Weseta, we use resources mindfully. Our certifications are proof of sustainability in action. We prioritize completely natural materials and a transparent value chain. In addition, we strive to keep production, as well as the upstream and downstream processes, as eco-friendly and responsible as possible.
Swiss reliability, sustainable production
Trusted partner companies
Sustainability is a top priority at Weseta. All products manufactured in Switzerland are made of 100% cotton, an entirely natural product. Weseta acts ecologically and responsibly at all stages of production. This begins with the careful selection of reliable partner companies in cotton cultivation.
Sustainable production
All Weseta terry products are woven in Switzerland. This guarantees short transportation routes, fair working conditions and consistently high quality. The production machines at the company headquarters in Engi are powered by energy from Co2-free electricity production in our own hydroelectric power plant. We place enormous value on sustainable, resource-saving processes at every stage of production both in Engi and at the weaving mill in Niederurnen.
It goes without saying that our products are OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning they are harmless to health and environmentally friendly. Weseta terry toweling is ultra-durable and incomparably soft.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is one of the world’s best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. It stands for customer confidence and a high level of product safety.
Weseta weaves and manufactures its products in its own facilities in the Glarnerland region of Switzerland. As a premium manufacturer, we uphold a strong sense of responsibility. All weseta switzerland products are certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100.
GLOBAL ORGANIC TEXTILE STANDARD (GOTS)
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is based on a clearly defined, transparent, and comprehensive set of criteria—offering a distinct advantage over loosely used terms such as “sustainable fashion,” “ethical clothing,” or “fair production.”
GOTS is the world’s leading textile processing standard for organic fibres. Certification by this independent non-profit organisation takes into account both ecological and social criteria throughout the manufacturing of textiles. The entire textile supply chain is subject to an independent and transparent certification process.
Selected weseta switzerland products are certified according to this standard.

Weseta has committed to the sustainability goals of Sustainable Textiles Switzerland 2030 (STS2030).
