Cradle to Cradle
Our Cradle to Cradle®(C2C) certified products are made from organic cotton and have been awarded the Cradle to Cradle Certified® GOLD certification. From the organic cotton fabric, to the sewing thread, the woven and product labels, and even the color pigments—everything is completely biodegradable and can be returned to the biological cycle without leaving any residue. The University of Innsbruck (2021) confirmed the biodegradability of one of our C2C organic cotton bedding sets. In their laboratory test, the product was completely biodegradable within 35 days.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® is one of the world’s most recognized seals of quality for the circular economy. The standard was developed by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute and evaluates products not only based on individual characteristics but holistically—from the materials used to the production conditions. The goal is to design products so that they can remain either in a biological cycle (e.g., through composting) or in a technical cycle (e.g., through recycling), rather than becoming waste at the end of their useful life.


Fair Wear
Since 2016, we have been a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving working conditions in the global textile and apparel industry. It helps member companies identify risks in their supply chains, implement improvements, and have their progress regularly reviewed. However, membership is not a product or factory certification and cannot guarantee a risk-free or harm-free supply chain. Fair Wear’s methodology focuses on our internal processes, including our purchasing practices, which directly impact working conditions.
Specifically, this includes, for example, safe workplaces, reasonable working hours, living wages, and opportunities for employees to file complaints. If, for instance, unpaid overtime or occupational safety and health deficiencies are identified, these issues are to be investigated jointly with the manufacturing facilities and addressed step by step.
Our progress is assessed as part of Fair Wear’s annual “Brand Performance Check” (BPC) through a structured review of our management systems and practices. This allows us to evaluate the extent to which our human rights due diligence and our sourcing practices are actually improving working conditions in our supply chain and protecting human rights. Our most recent “Brand Performance Check” was conducted in May 2026, and we received a “Leader” rating with a score of 76/100. This category is reserved for member companies that demonstrate exceptional performance and operate at an advanced level. The full report is publicly available here.
amfori - Compliance with social standards
PAPTEX GmbH & Co KG (Wholesale Mary Rose), undertakes as a amfori-member for compliance with social standards in the factories that manufacture our products.The aim is to continuously and sustainably improve working conditions in production facilities outside of Europe and to ensure that legal regulations are adhered to. To this end, amfori has developed a code of conduct to which its members are committed.
Compliance with these provisions and the implementation of agreed improvement measures are regularly monitored by external auditing institutes.


Vegan
Textiles are often NOT vegan - Would you have known that? Our Cradle to Cradle certified® GOLD certified products are - in contrast to many other textiles - vegan. This is because textiles are generally rarely completely free of materials of animal origin, as animal fats, uric acid, etc. are often added to them as processing aids during production. As such processing aids usually do not have to be declared, the impression is created that textiles are vegan. We do not use any materials of animal origin in our Cradle to Cradle products and have therefore been awarded the international V-Label.Ecoprofit
Our company has always set itself the goal of integrating sustainability into all our business activities. We firmly believe that companies have a responsibility towards the environment and society and that sustainability should be an integral part of our business activities.The environmental program of Ecoprofit aims to reduce operational emissions, conserve natural resources, increase eco-efficiency and raise awareness of the environment and sustainability within the company.
The site-specific Ökoprofit certification enabled us to further strengthen and refine our sustainability concept through technical and organizational measures. By forming an internal environmental team, we are now also benefiting from the input of our employees, whose ecological awareness has been heightened during the process.Video: Mary Rose at Ökoprofit
