End consumers are increasingly becoming conscious of using sustainable down and feather in products, like pillows, comforters, apparel, and others. Thus, non-profit organizations, like responsible down standard (RDS), are trying to find the best ways to minimize and heal the manufacturing impact of fabrics on water, soil, air, and the human population, so that consumers can be confident that the down and feathers used in the products they choose are sustainable.
