ST GALLEN – Textile chemical management specialist Bluesign Technologies has introduced a management and phase-out concept for critical CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction) solvents.
Bluesign says it expects to see a significant reduction in the use and emissions of CMR solvents when the concept is fully implemented by its system partners by the end of 2024.
The company already works with its system partner companies to restrict the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for purposes such as polyurethane coating and laminating.
