What do OEKO-TEX and FSC labels mean in home textiles

Wat betekenen het fsc en oeko tex keurmerk

At KOALA HUG, we believe in helping you rest easy – both physically and mentally. That’s why every piece of our 100% TENCEL™ duvets, sheets, and bath textiles is not only incredibly soft and plant-based but also certified by leading global standards like FSC and OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100. But what exactly do these labels mean, and why should they matter to you?

What Is the FSC® Certification?

The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) label guarantees that the wood-based materials in our products come from responsibly managed forests. These forests are maintained with careful attention to ecological balance, social equity, and economic sustainability.

Why Choose FSC®-Certified Products?

  • They help protect forests and biodiversity
  • They support fair labor conditions in the forestry industry
  • They reduce illegal logging
  • They promote sustainable forestry for future generations

    At KOALA HUG, we use wood pulp from FSC®-certified forests in our TENCEL™ products and packaging. This not only ensures the plastic-free, plant-based origin of our materials, but also gives you the confidence that your bedding is as good for the planet as it is for your skin.

What Is the OEKO-TEX® Label?

OEKO-TEX® is a globally recognized testing and certification system for textiles. Its most well-known standard, STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, verifies that a textile product has been tested for harmful substances and is completely safe for human use.

The Benefits of OEKO-TEX® Certified Bedding

  • Free from harmful chemicals like pesticides and heavy metals
  • Hypoallergenic and skin-safe – ideal for sensitive sleepers
  • Produced using environmentally friendly processes
  • Subject to strict annual testing based on the latest science

By choosing OEKO-TEX® certified bedding and bath products, you’re choosing antiallergic, antibacterial comfort that’s safe for both you and the environment.

Why These Certifications Matter

Today’s consumers are more conscious than ever of the environmental and ethical impact of their purchases. Certifications like FSC® and OEKO-TEX® offer the transparency and accountability you deserve—so you can make responsible choices without compromising on quality or comfort.

At KOALA HUG, sustainability and health & safety aren’t an add-on – it’s the foundation of everything we do.
