bluesign technologies, which regards itself as a “gold standard” in sustainable textile certifications, joined the Promotional Products Association International as a Business Service Member. A bluesign delegation headed up by Björn Härenstam will be attending the annual PPAI EXPO in Las Vegas January 15th – 18th, 2024.
Since 2000, bluesign has partnered with apparel industry brands, manufacturers and chemical suppliers to help create safer workplaces and textile products that are less impactful on the environment and people. Consumers can trust that bluesign-labeled textiles and products from the chemical inputs to the final production have met the strictest standards throughout the supply chain.
The PPAI is a 14,000+ member-strong association made up of suppliers and distributors of promotional products and services, including specialty advertising, branded apparel, business gifts, premiums, incentives and recognition awards.
Through bluesign’s membership in the PPAI, both organizations hope to provide leadership to advance sustainability efforts in the promotional products industry.
“The team at bluesign is eager to share our 20+ years of expertise on environmental stewardship with all members of the PPAI community,” said bluesign CEO, Daniel Rufenacht. “I am confident that we can help this sector of the apparel industry to improve impacts on our planet’s limited natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and also ensure the health and safety of consumers and workers throughout the supply chain.”
