Your assurance of a healthy textile business!
The independent bluesign® standard is the response to colossally increasing demand for textile products that are environmentally friendly, pose no health hazards, and conserve resources to the greatest possible extent. This demand is originating as a result of strict legislation, and meeting it will be crucial for future success. The bluesign® standard is the most efficient way to guarantee compliance with the new requirements, without compromising functionality, quality or design.
Radical new concept: genuine consumer and environmental protection pays off.
The bluesign® standard starts from the ground up. It’s not about testing finished products. Instead, before production begins, components and processes are selected to ensure they meet the specified criteria. This is the only way to guarantee maximum implementation of resource productivity and EHS – that’s Environment, Health and Safety – in the most efficient and cost-effective way for everyone involved.
The bluesign® standard is practice-oriented. Instead of working with bans and restrictions, the bluesign® standard provides solutions for EHS issues on all levels, from raw material and chemical components suppliers to manufacturers and retailers.
The bluesign® standard is widely recognised within the complete textile production chain. To assure efficient and economical solutions, the bluesign® standard includes all levels of the manufacturing chain. It is recognised by leading chemical companies, numerous textile manufacturers as well as well-known retailer and brand companies.
