What is the bluesign^®?

The bluesign^®standard is a new-generation ecological and environmental standard jointly developed by representatives from the EU's academic, industrial, environmental protection, and consumer organizations. It was publicly introduced on October 17, 2000, in Hanover, Germany, by bluesign^® Technologies AG, headquartered in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Brands and products bearing the bluesign^® authorized trademark indicate that both their processes and products meet ecological, health, and safety (Environment, Health, Safety; EHS) criteria, offering the latest global standard in environmental regulations and a guarantee of safe use for consumers.

While many environmental standards test the final products, bluesign^® takes the opposite approach by evaluating ingredients and processes before production begins. The concept behind this standard design is to prohibit the use of hazardous substances from the very start. The idea is that if the product's components are free from dangerous substances, the final product will undoubtedly be clean and safe.

bluesign^® standard is mainly based on the following five principles: 

• Production resources

Commitment to using minimal resources to optimize quality and product value while minimizing the impact on the environment. 

• Consumer safety

Consumer safety means ensuring that textiles are not only of high quality but also harmless to health. Sustainable principles must be upheld throughout the production process. 

• Gas emissions

Throughout the entire production process, strict control limits for emissions are to be adhered to. This includes using low-emission components, optimizing energy usage, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. 

• Water emissions

The goal for water emissions is to release purified water into the natural cycle, minimizing pollution to rivers, lakes, and oceans. Achieving this goal involves using environmentally friendly components and optimizing production and wastewater treatment processes. 

• Occupational health and safety

This pertains to the health and safety of textile industry employees. It means that it's possible to test and improve potential local defects in accordance with regulations.
