The bluesign® Difference

‘The bluesign® difference’ is the pathway, “to meet specific sustainability criteria, with four particular areas in mind; resource efficiency, environmental impact, health and safety at work, and consumer protection,” as said by Sugath Disanayake, Assistant Manager – Chemical Sustainability at MAS Capital in the latest blog update at MAS Holdings.

At bluesign®, motivated System Partners are what allow us to complete our mission of providing sustainable solutions for the textile supply chain. Our System Partner Manufacturer, MAS, and their MAS’ Plan for Change, is a perfect example of this aligned vision. With the initiative including 12 sustainability goals and projected to be accomplished by 2025, it won’t be a small endeavor. That’s why MAS has partnered with us to ensure that we can help see these goals through.

Joining as a bluesign® System Partner means applying the bluesign® System, and in the words of our partner,

“…adopting this system helps eliminate harmful substances from the get-go and sets stringent standards for environmentally friendly manufacturing, ensuring that the final textile product meets strict consumer safety requirements worldwide, while giving consumers confidence in their purchase decisions.”

MAS’s adoption of globally recognized sustainability standards demonstrates their dedication to comprehensive environmental responsibility without sacrificing product functionality, quality, or design.

A key aspect of our collaboration is the innovative ‘Input Stream Management’ approach within the bluesign® System. This methodology ensures that only approved raw materials and chemicals are utilized throughout MAS’s value chain, embedding sustainability from the very inception of garment production. This is a crucial step toward achieving MAS’s 2025 chemical management goals.

As MAS plans to implement the bluesign® System across all its dyeing facilities, this move signifies a strong commitment to sustainability and catalyzes a cleaner, more environmentally conscious future.

“Breaking new ground at MAS, we, as proponents of sustainable apparel manufacturing, celebrate the dedication of our teams’ investments in this system, as they forge a path towards a more sustainable future.”
