Related questions
What is a Declare label, and why does it matter?
A Declare label is the building-materials equivalent of a nutrition label. It discloses intentionally added ingredients and residuals at or above 100 ppm (parts per million), reported by chemical name and CAS number. Each ingredient is then screened against the Living Building Challenge Red List — a registry of the worst-in-class materials and chemicals. A product rated 'Red List Free' contains none of these restricted substances. Covelle's Tribeca leather carries Declare Certified status with Red List Free designation. This means every chemical in the leather — down to 100 ppm — is disclosed and verified safe.
How is OEKO-TEX different from Declare?
They take different approaches to the same goal: verified material safety. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Tests finished textiles against a catalog of 350+ harmful substances — including heavy metals, pesticides, phthalates, and restricted chemicals. If the substance is found above the limit, the product fails. This is the certification carried by Washed California fabric. Declare Provides full ingredient disclosure at 100 ppm, then screens against the Living Building Challenge Red List. Rather than testing for specific bad actors, Declare names everything that's in the product and lets you verify it. This is the certification carried by Tribeca leather. Both certifications require third-party verification and are renewed periodically. Different methods, same commitment to transparency.
