Textile production
CURRENT SITUATION
Regulations in textile manufacturing becomes
more and more complex. Too many Restricted
Substances Lists (RSLs) & Eco Lables, and
legislation such as the new “Registration,
Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals” (REACH)
![Page 8: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

NEED FOR CHEMICALS
Chemicals give colour and performance
Chemicals are not “bad” – if applied correctly
A “safe” chemical used badly can be many
times more polluting than a classified chemical
used correctly
![Page 20: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Tackle the problem at its roots
INPUT STREAM MANAGEMENT
Tackle the challenge at its roots. Input control instead of only consumer testing at the end. All resources on the input side from raw materials, water, energy, and chemicals are managed with a sophisticated "Input Stream Management" System.

1. Resource Productivity
The bluesign® standard
BUILT AROUND FIVE PRINCIPLES
Use of eco-efficient products to
achieve best performance with
optimised resource consumption
and minimum air and water
emissions
Ecological footprint: minimised
energy and material input per kg of
textile product
![Page 28: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

And others
![Page 29: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. Air Emission
The bluesign® standard
BUILT AROUND FIVE PRINCIPLES
Emission factor (e-factor)
Substance emission factor (s-factor)
Recipe calculation based on e-
factors leads to Volatile Organic
Carbon (VOC) reduction

Protection of the worker from
exposure to dangerous chemicals
Evaporation at large surfaces at
stenter, printing, and coating
applications
Handling at the dyeing machine at
high temperatures (batching tank)
Preparing, measuring, mixing, and
delivering of chemicals

“In the 1st year of our membership with bluesign
technologies, we were able to reduce:
water by 40%
energy by 20%
chemicals in the waste water by 53%
leading to a cost reduction of 1.44 million USD per year!

“We are encouraging our supply chain to adopt the
bluesign standard to meet our performance but also
our environmental expectations as well.”
Letitia Webster, Director Corporate Sustainability, The North Face Inc.
It‘s not possible to change fully in
short-term. It's important to start.
step 1: become a bluesign® member
step 2: select bluesign® approved
fabrics in the bluesign® blueguide
step 3: encourage your
manufactures to become a
bluesign® system partner
Only brands have the power to move
their supply chain to sustainability.

Risks for a brand / retailer
CURRENT SITUATION
Consumers assume that retailers are
managing allrisks (EHS, ethical)
on their behalf
Strict control mechanism in
the supply chain
Just one case of allergy or health issue in the public is enough to put the brand at risk
»Restoring a damaged reputation is extremely costly
Brand
Customer loyalty
•People wear it
(often next to skin)•People identify with it•Emotional binding
Customer requirements
•A safe product
•An environmentally friendly product
•A sustainable product

Approach by brands and retailers
DEFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF RSLS
Fact: Still a growing number of “problems”
Sourcing in locations with unknown EHS standards
Chemical industry can„t handle increasing number of RSLs (>160)
EHS data of chemical components are often not available
In many cases, the decision maker at the manufacturing level does not
possess the necessary chemical and toxicological know-how
![Page 56: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Practical experience
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET I
Recent European ECLIPS study shows:
Many MSDS are of generally poor quality
Large amount of products and substances
not classified correctly
Much of important information not available
Implementation of EU-Directive deficient in
69%
![Page 57: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Practical experience
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET II
MSDS from company with high EHS-
Standards:
Written for environmental chemistry
specialists and toxicologists
Interpretation complicated
Impossible to predict outcome for final fabric
For decision maker in production difficult to
implement
![Page 58: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Practical experience
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET III
MSDS of insufficient quality:
Data content does not allow prediction of
impact on environment, workplace or
consumer
Often simply no data or inaccurate data
available Critical substances listed in RSLs
are often not mentioned
Impossible to know if RSL requirements are
met
![Page 59: Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain : bluesign vision](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050919/5470dd60b4af9fb90a8b4947/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
