SERVICE SCOPE
VEGAN PRODUCTS VERIFICATION SERVICES
FOR APPAREL, FOOTWEAR, TEXTILES, BAGS, ACCESSORIES, AND HOME TEXTILES
Veganism is a growing trend in many societies with individuals choosing to abstain from the use of animal products in their daily lives. It is reported that the number of people claiming to be vegan has increased seven-fold between 2014-20191.
Veganism2 is defined as “a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose.” Generally, clothing, textiles, bags, accessories and footwear that claim to be “vegan” shall not contain animal derived components (such as leather, fur, silk, feathers, down, bone, horn, shell, wool, cashmere, shearling, angora, animal skin, suede, or mohair). This includes animal-derived materials, adhesives, etc. used in production.
SGS’s vegan product verification services offer you a number of screening tests and a certification of compliance with a Product Approval Mark.
