Claims

We take regulations and green claims seriously

Adhering to regulations is key in the fast-changing and complex environment for claims. That's why we have a process in place, factoring in rapidly-evolving regulatory requirements when developing and updating the claims. With our QR-coded claims and updated webpage, we provide more clarity on what our fibers offer to conscious consumers.
