Certification
The UPMADE® Certificate verifies the use of textile leftovers in production, compliance with circular production principles and other relevant production standards.
The certification process helps manufacturers integrate a circular production model and industrial upcycling into their business through a verified production system based on textile leftover analysis. By redesigning products and production processes around textile leftovers, upcycling reduces material leftovers and improves resource efficiency across production.
The certification supports leftover reduction and reduced use of virgin raw materials, lowering resource use in production. Developed through field research and scientific analysis, the certification supports wider adoption of industrial upcycling in the textile industry.
Certification for manufacturers
UPMADE® certification provides independent verification that a manufacturer can produce upcycled products in line with quality, chemical toxicity, and labour standards.
Certified manufacturers can connect with brands seeking reliable industrial upcycling partners and are authorised to use the UPMADE® Certification label.
Certification for brands and retailers
UPMADE® certification helps brands and retailers identify verified manufacturers that can deliver industrially upcycled products, enabling greater transparency across the supply chain. It also helps communicate verified upcycling practices and product origin more clearly to customers.
The UPMADE® product identification label can communicate conformance with UPMADE® standards.
