Benefit from a unique industry standard!

Environmental concerns and consumer protection are becoming increasingly important, including in the textile industry. Soon there will be much stricter regulations in place for production methods and components in respect of the hazards they present to people and the environment, such as the new EU Regulations "Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals" (REACH). In the future, EHS (Environment, Health & Safety), combined with the principle of maximum conservation of resources in production, will be a critical factor for your economic success.

All manufacturers of the supply chain who follow the independent bluesign® standard have a guarantee that they are taking effective and proactive action in response to this inescapable development. The bluesign® standard is independent, globally valid and up-to-date. The integrative nature of the bluesign® standard is your guarantee of compliance with the most stringent international regulations at all times. EHS queries and conformity work based on individual retailers’ requirements (Restricted Substance Lists) can be drastically reduced thanks to the guarantee provided by this unique standard. This saves unnecessary work as well as associated costs.

As a result of your products’ high EHS levels and high acceptance among retailers, the bluesign® standard allows you to set yourself apart from the competition. The bluesign® standard also offers outstanding innovation security in this respect. The bluetool™, a special software tool, is used to determine whether the criteria of the bluesign® standard have been fulfilled. This tool can also be used proactively in product development. Because you use this tool yourself, your knowledge base stays secure. The chemical formulations you personally entered with the bluetool™ can later be published in the bluefinder™. The bluefinder™ is a growing knowledge database which allows textile manufacturers to quickly select products, that comply with the newest EHS requirements.
