It eliminates harmful substances right from the beginning of the manufacturing process and sets and controls standards for an environmentally friendly and safe production. This not only ensures that the final textile product meets very stringent consumer safety requirements worldwide but also provides confidence to the consumer to acquire a sustainable product.
The bluesign® system partners are globally acting stakeholders of the textile market. From chemical suppliers via manufacturers to retailers and brands, the bluesign® system enables the participants of the textile supply chain to meet contemporary ecological requirements. The bluesign® system partners have to go through rigorous tests in order to verify compliance with the bluesign® criteria.
