HAMBURG - Textile Exchange has announced a new strategic partnership with not-for-profit public health organisation NSF International which will see the latter investing in TE's operations as it seeks to expand its reach in the sustainability sphere while also tapping into the US-based consultancy organisation's expertise in the textile industry. NSF has more than 70 years of standards development experience and, it is hoped, Textile Exchange's textile industry experience will help to broaden NSF's scope beyond its current expertise, which lies in animal welfare, food, safer chemicals, building products and materials, and water quality.
