The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) is a certification standard developed by Textile Exchange, a global non-profit organization focused on sustainability in the textile industry. The RDS certification applies to down and feathers used in bedding, apparel, and outdoor gear, and aims to ensure that the down and feathers used are responsibly sourced and treated.
An RDS certificate is a document issued by a third-party certification body that confirms that a product containing down or feathers meets the requirements of the RDS. The certificate provides information about the supplier of the down and feathers, including where they were sourced and how they were treated throughout the supply chain. It also verifies that the supplier has been audited by an independent third-party to ensure compliance with the RDS standard.
The RDS standard includes requirements related to animal welfare, including that the down and feathers used in products come from birds that have not been live-plucked or force-fed. It also includes requirements related to traceability and transparency throughout the supply chain, ensuring that the down and feathers can be traced back to the source.
Brands and manufacturers can use the RDS certification to demonstrate their commitment to responsible sourcing practices and to provide transparency to their customers about the materials used in their products. Consumers can look for the RDS certification on products to ensure that they are making a more responsible choice when it comes to down and feather products.
