Oeko-Tex certified contract fabrics for the hospitality industry
Two of Forbes Group’s fabrics used in our products for hotels & hospitality have been independently tested and certified to Oeko-Tex standards. They are Berkley, used for conference cloths and drop covers and Lyric used for table skirting, tablecloths and chair covers. The certification brings reassurance when you are buying fabrics for your hotel that they contain no harmful substances.
Sustainability is growing in importance to the hospitality industry. Although Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) is not a legal requirement in the UK yet, buyers and event organisers need to be aware of the provenance of their purchases and the potential environmental impact, so that they can answer any questions that guests may have.
What is Oeko-Tex® Standard 100?
Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a label stating that a fabric has been tested for harmful substances and found to be harmless for human health. The classes range from class 1 to 4. Product class 4 is for decorative and furnishing materials like our table cloths, table skirting, table and chair covers. The materials have been independently tested by laboratories and certified as harmless.
