We developed our own certification, which blends premium product quality with a deep respect and care for animals and the environment.
Our certified wool tops are made from a careful selection of farms owned by growers who share our vision and values:
Genuine love for our sheep that live in accordance with the 5 freedoms of animal welfare and are free of mulesing procedures. Mulesing is not practiced in Uruguay since it is not justified by climatic or sanitary reasons. Growers base their production in the ethical principles published in: wool.com.uy.
Strong commitment to environmental responsibility drives our manufacturing process. Nearly 100% of our production is powered by renewable energy generated by two Vestas 1.8 MW wind turbines located at our own facility. We regularly measure our carbon footprint, and in both 2019 and 2021, we achieved Carbon Neutral certification. We are also following a detailed roadmap to further reduce our footprint. Additionally, our facility is Cradle to Cradle and OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring the highest standards of sustainability and safety.
Commitment to social responsibility towards the town, families, and individuals involved, reflecting our values as a family-owned company and our dedication to positively impacting the local community.
A fully traceable route that takes the end consumer back to the land where the sheep were raised, connecting them to its true origin.
Exceptional quality achieved through a combination of healthy, well-bred sheep, technological innovation, and a perfect blend of experience and passion.
These are the values that bind Origen,
A Premium and Conscious Natural Fibre
