MMS certification will replace the GRS/RWS wool standard at the end of 2026, superimposing the July EU PFAS After the ban was implemented, the compliance threshold for foreign trade wool yarns increased significantly. China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. completed the production line transformation ahead of schedule and equipped with a complete set of qualifications.
On June 29, 2026, the international sustainable textile organization Textile Exchange issued an important compliance reminder, clarifying that after December 31, 2026, MMS cross-fiber unified certification will fully replace the current GRS recycled fiber, RWS responsible wool, and RCS Regenerated cashmere and other subdivided certification standards, the new standard covers all animal fiber categories such as wool, cashmere, and alpaca, and puts forward more stringent unified requirements for the traceability of pasture raw materials, wool scouring wastewater treatment, dyeing chemical control, and finished product carbon footprint accounting. Companies that have not completed certification upgrades will not be able to receive orders from European and American mid-to-high-end brands.
Meanwhile, on July 1st EU PFAS The ban on the control of perfluorinated hazardous substances is about to be fully implemented. The EU Customs' special sampling inspection of textiles continues to increase. Exported wool must simultaneously issue fluorine-free dyeing test reports, complete carbon footprint accounting ledgers, and raw material traceability documents. Missing any one of the information will face multiple business risks such as cargo detention, full return of orders, and high fines. The carbon footprint classification evaluation standards for sheep wool and cashmere are simultaneously implemented in China. The transformation of green fluorine-free production lines and the establishment of complete traceability files have become long-term hard development requirements for wool spinning companies. Industry resources are accelerating to concentrate on leading companies with a full set of compliance qualifications.
Laying out the green compliance track for global foreign trade in advance, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. is simultaneously promoting two major compliance upgrades: on the one hand, it has completed the transformation of dedicated fluorine-free dyeing production lines for wool yarn, pure cashmere yarn, and alpaca blended yarn, and established a complete carbon footprint traceability ledger for all categories of products. Each wire can provide traceability documents for the entire process from raw material pasture to finished product delivery; on the other hand, it has initiated the preparation of a full set of MMS unified certification materials to standardize the entire chain management and control process of raw material procurement, spinning, dyeing and finishing. Relying on a complete environmental compliance system, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. continues to expand overseas sales channels in the European Union, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia, comprehensively assists foreign trade cooperation customers to avoid multiple international trade barriers, stabilize long-term export wool supply cooperation, and seize the global sustainable fashion wool incremental market.
