tonnes of clean wool fiber, or 1.98 million tonnes of greasy wool fiber, sheep wool is the most widely used animal-based fiber.! Standard (RWS), ZQ, ZQ Regenerative Index (ZQRX), Wool Sustainability Scheme (AWSS)), Sustainablue (ResponsiWOOL under AWSS), SustainaWOOL Gold (no longer offered under AWsS),3 Sustainable Cape Wool Standard (SCWS), and Climate BeneficialTM Verified decreased from an estimated 102,663 tonnes (~5.2% of total greasy wool production) in 2023 to 86,002 tonnes (~4.3%) in 2024. 82% of this 4.3% market share in 2024, accounting for 3.6% of the global greasy wool market. ZQ (including equivalents) accounted for 0.8%, SCWS farm audit for 0.2% (with a further module), Sustainablue (ResponsiWOOL under AWSS) for 0.4%, SustainaWOOL Green (SustainaWOOL under AWSS) for 0.2%, SustainaWOOL Gold for O.02%, and Climate BeneficialTm Verified for O.003%. Due to the double certification of around 1.2% of global greasy wool production, 4.3% (and not 5.5%) was certified according to these programs. Edition 19. 2024 data was not available so 2023 is used 2 Conventional/unknown includes the volumes of wool programs for which data was unavailable or inaccessible at the launch of the report. 3 In July 2024,the SustainaWOOLIntegrity Scheme (SWIS transitioned into the Australian Wool Sustainability Scheme (AWSS). As part ofthistransition, SustainaWOOL Green is now known as SustainaWOOL; Sustainablue is now known as ResponsiWOOL, and SustainaWOOL Gold is no longer offered. The key difference between SustainaWOOL Gre and Gold (SustainaWOOL under AWSS) and Sustainablue (ResponsiWOOL under AWSS) is that the former includes only non-mulesed orceased-mulesed wool, while the latterallows mulesing (orliquid nitrogenuse) with pain relief. Production volumes for2024 include volumes from both the SWIS and the AWSS.
