Environment, Health, and Safety
the new standards for a successful textile industry
The declared objective of the independent bluesign® standard is to put a reliable and proactive tool at the disposal of the entire textile production chain – from raw material and component suppliers who manufacture e.g. yarns, dyes and additives, to textile manufacturers, to retailer and brand companies, to consumers.
bluesign® standard explanation by Peter Waeber
Production processes that are designed around maximum resource productivity with a view to environmental protection, health and safety, represent an assurance for manufacturers and retailers that today's quality criteria are fulfilled in the best possible way and that applicable regulations and limits are complied with. The basic idea, right from the beginning, was to tackle the problem at its roots and to exclude substances, which are potentially hazardous to the human health or the environment, from processes at the outset via an intelligent Input Stream Management system. An independent standard was created that can be applied to the entire production chain and that delivers certainty at all levels, from raw material to final product, from chemical supplier to consumer. This in turn means measurable economic success for industry and trade while at the same time offering maximum consumer und environmental protection. The bluesign® standard is leading the way to a successful and healthy textile future. Worldwide.
