The Comfortemp thermal insulations from technical textiles and interlining specialist Freudenberg Performance Materials have joined the Bluesign standard for environmentally friendly textile products.
Developed and maintained by Switzerland based Bluesign Technologies, the textile chemicals management system helps brands and retailers to source responsibly produced components.
“Today, consumers of fashion and sports goods alike expect and deserve a fully transparent supply chain to ensure that the garments they buy are truly sustainable. At Freudenberg, sustainability is deeply anchored in our group values and principles,” explains Benoit Cugnet, head of global strategic marketing at Freudenberg Performance Materials Apparel.
“For example, the use of chemicals is strictly regulated and our certified energy management system follows very high standards. In India and China, for example, we operate locations where we go far beyond the legal requirements in our standards for air monitoring or water processing.”
He adds: “it was a natural step for us to become a Bluesign System partner. In this way, we support our customers with truly sustainable products and powerful communication tools, right through to point of sale.”
Last year Freudenberg Performance Materials launched the latest version of its thermal insulation in the form of a continuous padding made from interconnected fibreballs for use in sports and outdoor jackets.
