Benefit from a unique standard!

The independent bluesign® standard is your assurance of a profitable future. It is your guarantee that, along the entire production chain, your products only contain components and pass through processes that are harmless to people and the environment.
At the same time, the principle of maximum resource efficiency means cost efficiency from your perspective.

A spate of ecological scandals together with the increasing scarcity of resources have made consumers more aware of harmful substances in textiles and of production methods that damage the environment. Accordingly, regulations and limits have been tightened in legislation across the world. This is a trend that will gather pace inexorably. A damaged reputation due to a single adverse effect with a negative impact on the environment or the human health is often impossible to repair, and causes immense costs. To invest in the most environmentally sustainable products available will in future represent an increasingly important investment in long-term consumer confidence. Ecological safety is becoming an ever more critical quality factor worldwide, and is a decisive factor for a company's or a brand’s image and hence its success. EHS (Environment, Health & Safety), following a principle of maximum conservation of resources in production, will make significant changes to purchase behaviour globally and become a key factor for your economic success.

The independent bluesign® standard does not eliminate existing Restricted Substance Lists (RSL) - it heads one step further and embraces these standards. It fulfils all commercially significant requirements all around the world (various RSLs from leading companies) as well as REACH requirements. It represents the route of best practice at every turn and in the future will lead the way.

An important principle behind the bluesign® standard is never to compromise on product functionality, quality or design. In order to achieve a certain functionality, the bluesign® standard shows you as a textile manufacturer alternative solutions that use bluesign® approved components, i.e. ones that are permitted under the bluesign® standard. Access to the bluefinder™, an indispensable knowledge database where you can find the newest bluesign® approved components, enables you to keep pace with the latest technological developments at all times. This in turn gives you maximum innovation security. All of this represents a significant advantage over the competition and demonstrates to your customers that you are an absolutely reliable and competent partner who thinks ahead.
