It is hard for conventional designers and producers finding their way to sustainable production and understand the labels. The ÖkoTex100 standard doesn't say the production is organic or ecological at all!!! It is a certification that there are no chemicals in the clothing that are harmful according to the law.<br/><br/>If you want a sustainable production of your textiles, I would advice to look for organic certified textiles. The ÖkoTex does not mean much for the environment, so if you find this important for your production, try to get real organic textile!!<br/><br/>And find some more infos on the topic, in example from the Pesticide Action Network databases: www.pesticideinfo.org<br/><br/>There is also published some books <br/>lately on green fashion: "Eco Chique" and "Green is the new black".<br/><br/>good luck!
