Materials & packaging

LWG leather & PPWR-tested packaging

Compliance does not stop at the finished shoe. The leather in your shoes and the boxes, cartons, tags and labels they ship in come from suppliers that hold their own third-party certifications. These are our suppliers’ documents, not DOING’s own certification. We keep supplier names confidential and send the certificate and full SGS reports to buyers on request.

EU PPWR is Regulation (EU) 2025/40, applying from 12 August 2026. Its PFAS limits (Article 5(5)) apply to food-contact packaging, so PFAS testing on shoe boxes is extra assurance, not a legal requirement. Its heavy-metal limit (Article 5(4), 100 mg/kg combined) applies to all packaging. Tested with SGS; results relate to the samples tested.

FAQ

Due-diligence questions

How do I verify DOING is a real, registered company?

We can share our business licence (with unified social credit code) and export registration for your due diligence, and you can cross-check us on LinkedIn and our own factory videos. We are DOING INT'L CORP. LIMITED, an original footwear factory in Quanzhou, China since 2002.

Can I get REACH / RSL and physical test reports?

Yes. We share accredited third-party test reports (SGS, Intertek, BV-type) for REACH/RSL and physical performance on request — and we can run testing to your own restricted-substances list and standards during development.

Are your factory and working conditions audited?

Yes — the factory undergoes independent social/quality audits (e.g. BSCI, Sedex-SMETA and client-specific audits). We can share the relevant cover and rating pages, with other clients’ names redacted.

Is your leather LWG certified, and is your packaging PPWR compliant?

We source leather from an LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold-rated tannery, certified to June 2028. Our shoe-box board, cartons and swing tags are SGS-tested to the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) heavy-metal limits, with PFAS, REACH SVHC, Prop 65 and US toxics-in-packaging tests on the boards. These are our suppliers’ certificates, not DOING’s own; we share the certificate and SGS reports with buyers on request.

Why are some documents "available on request" instead of public?

Compliance and audit reports contain client names, pricing and internal test detail we are contractually bound to protect. We publish the headline finished-shoe results here and share the underlying documents directly with buyers during due diligence.
