Wool industry members use IWTO regulations to support their business transactions.In addition, IWTO works closely with governments around the world as well as the European Union in order to ensure that wool is viewed and understood correctly as Nature's fibre - wool is 100% Natural, Renewable and Sustainable.Wool is also unique as it is naturally Flame Retardant, it actively manages humidity and is absorbs toxic chemicals amongst other beneficial attributes.I have been privileged to have been elected by the members to represent their interests as the Treasurer of this essential organisation.
