12 October 2018 Recently, the Austrian companies Betten Reiter (specialist of textiles around sleeping - mattresses, bed linen, pillows, blankets,...) and Vossen (expert for the bath - towels, bathrobes, bathmats) presented collections made of vegan textiles. Both companies received a certificate by the European Vegetarian Union (EVU), represented in Austria by the 'Vegane Gesellschaft' (Vegan Society Austria) which hands out the 'V-label'. In the case of textiles, the V-label signs materials produced without animal auxiliaries. Yesterday, Betten Reiter has additionally received the Fairtrade Award for social and economic fairness. fig. from left: Vossen's 'Vegan Life' collection consists currently of towels in 15 colors; in early 2019, a bathrobe will be added to the collection.
