What Is It and
Why Does It Matter?
THE bluesign® SYSTEM
With its holistic approach based on Input Stream Management, the bluesign SYSTEM reduces the impact on people and on the environment, ensures responsible use of resources and guarantees a high level of consumer safety.
It avoids harmful substances that pose a risk to people and the environment at each step of the supply chain. It also ensures approved chemical products and raw materials are used throughout the value chain.
