We’ve always believed that chemistry should work smarter, safer, and cleaner.
Now, our efforts are being recognised globally—HealthGuard® has been featured in an exclusive blog by TESTEX, the official OEKO-TEX® institute in Australia and New Zealand.
It’s a proud moment. But more than that, it’s confirmation that what we’re building here is not just relevant—it’s essential.
Why did TESTEX want to speak with us?
Because HealthGuard® is doing things differently:
- We’ve achieved ECO PASSPORT certification without compromising innovation or IP.
- We replaced synthetic surfactants with 100% natural, biodegradable alternatives.
- We redesigned our energy use to produce more power than we consume.
- We operate in a closed-loop system that values reuse, recovery, and environmental responsibility.
Not just certification. Strategy.
OEKO-TEX® certification isn’t a tick-and-flick.
It’s a strategic move that builds brand trust, streamlines compliance, and provides global confidence for retailers and manufacturers alike.
Our certification journey was supported by TESTEX’s local guidance and expertise, especially from Kate Barry, who helped ensure the process was seamless.
What we said in the interview:
“Unlike a company issued declaration, ECO PASSPORT provides third-party certification, ensuring greater credibility and trust in the certification process.”
“Given we were pioneers in the world of anti-microbial and anti-insect finishes for textiles, our clients had never heard of such teatments before and of course the first questions are, “is it safe?”. When you can tell your clients it is “OEKO TEX certified”, half the work is finished. We are proud to be associated with OEKO TEX for more than a quarter of a century.”
“ECO Passport is a starting point reference of using cleaner, greener chemistry without having to divulge sensitive information, or have the burden of proof persist in convincing the customer about your input ingredients. ”
