Description

Any brand can claim sustainable materials, but words mean nothing without third-party testing and certifications. In fact, unverified sustainability claims—even if they are valid—can often lead to suspicions of greenwashing.



Here, Min Zhu, senior director, technical services and operations, US & Canada Softlines, of global testing and certification company SGS, and Haley Gershon, marketing manager of SGS Beta (formerly Beta Analytic), a
leading Carbon-14 testing lab for biobased materials that SGS acquired in
November 2024, discuss why biobased materials need verification.



Watch the fireside chat to learn:



  • The current status of circular fashion and its key progresses

  •  The journey of SGS and Beta’s combination and synergy

  • SGS solutions to material sustainability and circularity

  •   How SGS collaborates with fashion brands to test and verify
    biobased materials

  • SGS’ IMPACT NOW sustainability initiatives
