DownTek passes Responsible Down Standard
Down Decor, supplier of DownTek, has achieved Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification, after an audit by Control Union.
The RDS provides accountability to brands and suppliers and allows consumers to be confident in how and where their products come from.
Daniel Guigui, president of DownTek, said: “We have always worked with very sustainable and ethical down suppliers and are excited that RDS has allowed us to provide the public and our brand partners with a tangible standard that can be adhered to across the board. We are a supplier to 26 incredible brands who know and trust our product, so the timing in securing RDS was amplified due to the sheer number of inclusions we had to make. In the end, it worked out just as we’d anticipated.”
The DownTek treatment creates products that dry 67% faster and absorb 33% less water than untreated down, it claims.
