Vaude

Greenshape label and Bluesign criteria

What exactly is meant by these strict ecological requirements? Vaude focuses on the 100% Greenshape 2.0 warranty. This guarantee stands for extremely detailed and safe requirements for sustainable materials and therefore “green” products. Think, for example, of selection criteria regarding design, product development, use of certain materials, recycling or product maintenance. Even the production factories are screened for this. As if that were not enough, Vaude goes one step further by subjecting all additional components such as zippers, wires and even printing to the same screening. As a result, the trader, distributor and customer are assured that a Vaude product places the smallest possible burden on people and nature.

The Greenshape concept also builds on the globally applicable Bluesign criteria for textiles. Vaude has included these criteria in their company profile since 2001 and raised the bar even further with the help of the “Greenshape mountain” rating system. It is very easy to understand what the environmental and product-friendly values ​​of the product are, based on the different levels on the mountain.
