Feral Craft & Material Integrity Chart
Feral Label Craft Standards Overview
Feral Craft & Material Integrity ensures that every item offered through FeralMarket — from tools to textiles — is produced with verified natural materials, responsible use of technology, and authentic craftsmanship aligned with human and ecological health.
| Category | Core Criteria | Verification Method | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material Origin | 100% natural, non-toxic, biodegradable, and traceable ingredients or fibers. | Supplier documentation, lab verification (if needed). | Ensure ecological safety and full compatibility with human and environmental health. |
| Processing Tools | Modern tools and machinery permitted if used responsibly; processes must not contaminate or alter material integrity. | Workshop inspection, process documentation. | Maintain practical flexibility while protecting material purity. |
| Surface Treatments & Finishes | Only natural oils, waxes, mineral dyes, or plant-based treatments. No synthetic resins, plastic coatings, or chemical fixatives. | Ingredient review, batch analysis. | Preserve natural breathability, texture, and non-toxicity. |
| Design & Function | Prioritize functional longevity, repairability, and adaptability to autonomous living. Avoid disposable or decorative-only products. | Design documentation, field testing. | Guarantee practical and sustainable use. |
| Human Craftsmanship | Artisans demonstrate direct, skilled involvement in production. Industrial automation allowed only for efficiency, not creative replacement. | Producer interviews, on-site verification. | Ensure authenticity and preserve artisanal knowledge. |
| Philosophical Alignment | Production methods align with Feral principles — autonomy, ecological regeneration, and health-centered quality. | Vendor evaluation, charter agreement. | Maintain coherence across the Feral Label ecosystem. |
| Transparency | Full disclosure of materials, origin, and process methods for every product. | Public listing and internal records. | Guarantee traceability and consumer trust. |
