Benefits of biobased content verification in textiles, footwear and accessories

Consumers are increasingly seeking products that demonstrate genuine sustainability. Choosing biobased materials helps you tackle critical challenges like climate change while accelerating the transition to a circular economy and meeting the growing demand for environmentally responsible products.

Why SGS?

We are the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company. With a global network of state-of-the-art laboratories and a team of dedicated professionals from diverse disciplines, we deliver comprehensive physical, chemical and functional testing for components, materials and finished products. Our expertise ensures your company meets the highest standards of quality, safety, sustainability and compliance with international, industrial and regulatory requirements. In the end, it’s trusted because it’s tested.

The benefits of sustainability

Trust is key when making sustainability claims, and independent verification makes a difference.

At SGS, we utilize advanced 14-carbon isotope analysis to verify the biobased composition of materials. Since 14-carbon is absent in fossil-based materials, its presence in a material confirms renewable, biological elements.

We also offer a variety of assessment solutions – onsite audits and/or document reviews – to enhance transparency and traceability in sourcing practices.
