Products that meet the high requirements of the bluesign® CRITERIA can be published in the bluesign® FINDER. Based on ingredient composition, hazard properties, process and application data it provides a holistic assessment of impacts on workers, consumers and the environment. Chemical products are rated in six individual modules which increases rating transparency and supports chemical suppliers in the design of safer products. With these functionalities our science-based tool is unique on the market. Developed with our vast knowledge and experience concerning industrial processes in textile and related industries, the latest release of the bluesign® TOOL sets a new standard in the assessment of chemical products. A third-party review of the advanced methodology for chemical assessment had been performed by Oekopol GmbH in Hamburg. See summary report here. The full report is available on request.
