The Globac Vegan Mark allows retailers, brands, and manufacturers to highlight their products as free from materials of animal origin, helping consumers make informed choices about the fashion items they buy.
Veganism has gained significant traction as a lifestyle choice in recent years. Beyond dietary preferences, veganism is making waves in the fashion industry, with an increasing number of clothes, shoes, and accessories being produced without fur, leather, wool, or silk.
However, verifying a product's vegan claim can be challenging. While the primary materials may not be of animal origin, they could contain additives such as glues and dyes derived from animals or animal by-products (e.g., beeswax), which are not considered vegan. Many existing vegan mark programs in the market rely solely on supplier declarations.
In response to the demand for a reliable program to validate vegan claims, Globac has developed the Globac Vegan Mark Program. This program enables retailers, brands, and manufacturers of apparel, footwear, and accessories to ensure their products are free from animal-derived materials while assisting consumers in making informed decisions about the fashion items they purchase.
The program incorporates an additional testing step alongside supplier declarations, providing further assurance that the products are either synthetic or made from plant-derived materials. The testing protocols include:
Successful applicants can obtain the Globac Vegan Mark for their apparel, footwear, and accessories, verifying their vegan claims.
