Sustainable
For almost one hundred years our aspirations have remained unchanged. We stand for superior fabrics and pure materials that are durable. We are 100% committed to a fair production process and develop products that contribute to a comfortable living environment. Respect for man and environment.
European Reach standards
All ploeg fabrics are 100% produced in accordance with European REACH standards. REACH is a regulation of the European Union. The abbreviation REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemical substances. The aim is to limit and regulate the risks of chemical substances to people and the environment. As a company we therefore continuously implement improvement measures. In doing so, we confirm that we fully comply with the REACH requirements.
Reusing raw materials
We prefer to use renewable materials and are increasingly active in recycling and upcycling. By reusing raw materials we strive to save our resources. For example, we feature fabrics in our collection made from recycled ocean plastic, but also from recycled post consumer PET bottles.
Residual materials
In order to reduce waste material to a minimum and to show that residual materials have value, koda amsterdam has been producing beautiful accessories with left over de ploeg fabrics for many years. Think of cushions, plaids, bags and cases. Each item is unique and lovingly made by Dutch studios.
Care and craftmanship
De Ploeg designs and develops collections entirely in house. Fabrics are produced skilfully and composed and woven thread by thread. We select our materials with care and that is reflected in the quality and the lifespan of our products.
ISO 14001 and 9001
De Ploeg is officially ISO 14001 and 9001 certified. This is the internationally recognised standard of criteria for an environmental management system. It maps out a framework that a company can follow to set up and implement an effective environmental management system. In this way De Ploeg aims to control and even reduce the environmental risks of business operations. This also demonstrates that De Ploeg has a management system that safeguards quality and logistics.
Oeko-Tex®
All fabrics are in compliance with the Oeko-Tex® standard 100 norm. Oeko-Tex® is the international standard that indicates that the use of harmful substances is regulated. All our fabrics have this label and are therefore safe and harmless for your health.
Each fabric is tested extensively
We select our materials with care and test the quality of all our upholstery and project fabrics during the design and development process. In this way we can give the optimal care advice for the fabric and guarantee the quality.
Before a fabric reaches the customer, we have tested for i.a. abrasion resistance, seam slippage and shear deformation, but also pilling, shrinkage, lightfastness and flame retardancy.
Tests are carried out by certified laboratories and test results are transparent and available on request.
