Fanterco recommends a three-step verification process:

  1. Lock in Core Standards: Ensure your supplier provides dual reports for ISO 18184 (antiviral) and ISO 20743 (antibacterial).
  2. Verify Bio-Content: For chemical finishes, prioritize auxiliaries like HeiQ Viroblock NPJ03, which carries a 72% bio-based certification, helping to lower your Scope 3 emissions.
  3. Confirm Non-Leaching Properties: Ask if the technology is “non-migrating” or embedded (like Acteev Protect). This determines the “Lifecycle Durability” score in your DPP, which can significantly lower future environmental taxes.
