ST. GALLEN – Bluesign has teamed up with Sustainable Chemistry for the Textile Industry (SCTI), an alliance of companies in the field, to develop a new index which will highlight the credentials of formulations used across the sector.
The sustainable chemistry index will not prioritise whether a solution is ‘free of a certain substance’, according to the two organisations, instead placing onus on whether a supplier and their chemicals are ‘Bluesign approved’.
Wolfgang Anton Schumann, SCTI chairman, said: “Through its independent position, Bluesign has earned the industry’s trust to provide sustainable chemical solutions and impact reductions across the supply chain for the past two decades.”
