Understanding OEKO-TEX Sustainable Textile and Leather Production (STeP) Certification
OEKO-TEX Sustainable Textile and Leather Production (STeP) certification provides a detailed, modular evaluation framework. It assesses textile and leather manufacturing sites based on their environmental impact, chemical management practices, social responsibility, and quality control processes. This system is designed to guide companies in demonstrating and improving sustainable production throughout their supply chains while aligning with globally recognized sustainability criteria.

Key Drivers Boosting the OEKO-TEX Sustainable Textile and Leather Production (STeP) Certification Market
The growing consumer demand for sustainable textiles is a primary catalyst for expanding the OEKO-TEX STep certification market. Sustainable textiles are those produced, used, and disposed of in ways that reduce environmental harm, conserve natural resources, and maintain social responsibility within the entire supply chain.

This rising demand is largely fueled by heightened concerns about pollution and textile waste, alongside increased awareness among consumers who pressure brands to adopt greener, more resource-efficient manufacturing practices. OEKO-TEX STep certification supports these goals by setting rigorous facility-level standards that promote environmentally friendly operations, social compliance, and efficient resource use across the textile and leather industries. For example, in March 2025, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) noted that approximately 8% of textile fibers produced in 2023 came from recycled materials in Kenya, illustrating the growing shift toward sustainable textile production.
