Greenwashing
I contacted Ecoalf for clear information on their fabrics, dyes, and certifications so I could make an informed purchase. They replied politely, but avoided giving complete transparency. For example, they confirmed their linen has European Flax® certification, yet admitted they choose not to include this on product labels “due to internal decisions.”
When I asked about dye safety, I was told only that they comply with “international standards” and maintain an annually updated “Restricted Substances List,” but no specific, verifiable details were provided. This means a customer has to chase down a sustainability department for basic product information that should be readily available on the website. They also provide no transparency about fair workplace conditions etc.
While I appreciate the polite response and their use of more sustainable fibers, the lack of clear, product-level traceability and reluctance to share certifications on labels leaves me without the certainty I need. This lack of upfront clarity feels like greenwashing by omission — presenting the brand as sustainable while withholding key information that would let customers verify those claims. For now, I’ll be buying from brands that provide verifiable sustainability information directly on their products and websites
