The bluesign system is the solution for a sustainable textile production. 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 is based on powerful partnerships. 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.

The five principles of the bluesign system

What is the meaning of a sustainable textile business? It means to conserve valuable resources, to minimise environmental impact and to drive innovations. Industrial partners will in particular have to examine all their components and processes on the basis of clear principles. In this spirit the textile industry will be able to guarantee sustainability to both consumers and environment.

  • Resource productivity.
  • Consumer safety.
  • Water emission.
  • Air emission
  • Occupational health and safety.
