Tanatex becomes bluesign partner
Netherlands-based Tanatex Chemicals officially became a bluesign
system partner in June.
According to Maurice Boeijen, specialist in product
safety regulations at Tanatex, claimed the company successfully complied with
all bluesign’s requirements for chemical suppliers.
The company underwent an extensive onsite evaluation of
the environment, resource and workplace situation of its manufacturing site
according to the five principles of the bluesign system.
Tanatex will now start registering its products in the
bluesign bluefinder, an online database containing bluesign-approved raw
materials and components.
Global marketing manager, René Hermse, said: “By becoming
[a] bluesign system partner we made yet another huge step forward towards a
responsible, sustainable and greener textile future.
"Nowadays in all industries, including the textile
industry, environmental concerns and consumer protection are becoming
increasingly important.
"We witness much stricter regulations for production
methods and components in respect of the hazards they present to humans and the
environment.
"To be able to comply with our customers’ growing greener
demands, we are committed to push our eco-efforts to the next level."
