Developer and manufacturer of membrane technology for apparel and footwear eVent has become a bluesign partner following an audit at its manufacturing facility in Missouri. The audit confirmed that the company’s membrane manufacturing operations meet bluesign standards in worker safety, responsible use of resources and environmental performance.  

On making the announcement, eVent said that its status as a bluesign partner confirms its commitment to reducing its impact on people and the environment in producing membrane technology for textile specialists around the globe to use in creating finished laminated textiles for outdoor apparel and footwear brands. The bluesign system ensures that approved chemical products and raw materials are used in all steps of the manufacturing process and that substances posing risks to people and the environment are eliminated.

“We’re excited about this important achievement and what it means for not only our organisation but our customers and consumers around the world,” said Chris Ferraro, general manager for eVent.  “Becoming a bluesign system partner is one of many steps we are taking to continually improve our sustainability practices, streamline operations and bring innovative membrane solutions to the market.”
