SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
All weseta products are woven and sewn in Switzerland. This guarantees short transport routes, fair working conditions and consistently high quality. The production machinery at the company headquarters in Engi is run on CO2-free energy from our own hydropower plant.
The products are, of course, certified in accordance with STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, making them safe and environmentally friendly. weseta towels are especially durable and incomparably soft.
STANDARD 100 BY OEKO-TEX®
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a global, universal and independent testing and certification system for raw, intermediate and end textile products across all stages of production, including any accessory materials used.
STEP BY OEKO-TEX®
An additional certification, which distinguishes weseta, is STeP by OEKO-TEX®. But what does this certificate mean? STeP doesn’t just take individual sustainability issues into account, it involves a holistic analysis and rating of production conditions, and includes the following modules:
- Chemical management
- Environmental performance
- Environmental management
- Social responsibility
- Quality management
- Health protection and safety at work
The aim of the STeP certification is to permanently implement environmentally friendly production processes, fair social working conditions and optimum safety at work.
