In an era where consumers demand greater transparency and health safety, global standards are constantly evolving. At YEEROLE, we welcome these changes, as they reaffirm the principles that guide our furniture production.
The OEKO-TEX® Association recently announced its updated criteria for 2025 across all its standards, setting a new, higher benchmark for textiles worldwide. For our customers, this is simply a validation of the promise we’ve always kept: that your YEEROLE furniture is built with safety as the foundation.
Our Commitment to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100
At YEEROLE, our performance fabrics already hold the prestigious OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. This certification means that every component of our fabric—from the threads to the finished cover—has been rigorously tested and confirmed to be free from harmful substances, including the notorious PFAS and toxic flame retardants.
The new 2025 regulations reinforce the importance of these checks, particularly with new, stricter limits for certain chemicals.
Key Update: Stricter BPA Limits
One significant change in the 2025 OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is the drastic reduction of the limit value for Bisphenol A (BPA). This chemical, categorized as an endocrine disruptor, has been a growing concern in consumer products.
While many manufacturers may now be scrambling to comply with this tougher limit, the good news for YEEROLE customers is that our certified fabrics are already designed with a non-toxic approach that avoids the very chemicals OEKO-TEX® is cracking down on. When you choose a YEEROLE sofa, you're choosing a product that has been ahead of the curve, built to the highest safety specifications.
The Future of Sustainable Production: Aligning with STeP
While our product fabrics are certified safe through STANDARD 100, the new OEKO-TEX® updates also highlight the growing importance of STeP (Sustainable Textile and Leather Production) certification. This certification focuses on the manufacturing facilities and their environmental performance, social responsibility, and chemical management.
The 2025 update brings enhanced cooperation between OEKO-TEX® STeP and the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) Programme. This collaboration further streamlines efforts to eliminate hazardous chemicals from the global supply chain and promote cleaner production methods.
This focus on the production facility reinforces our belief that a truly safe product starts with a responsible manufacturing process. At YEEROLE, we partner with facilities that are committed to sustainable practices, ensuring our supply chain upholds the same high environmental and social standards that you expect from our finished product.
Why YEEROLE's Proactive Approach Matters to You
