For each product development, we give equal consideration to the question of functional enhancement and the issue of ecological compatibility. "In the past, there were no hard and fast answers to these questions. Thanks to bluesign, that is the case today," continues Hans-Jürgen Hübner.

The CEO of Schoeller Textil AG is delighted that bluesign is well on the way to gaining the significance which was at the core of the initial idea. Today, more and more people around the globe subscribe to this credo: the necessity for safe products, environment-friendly production and the economical use of resources. Since 2001, Schoeller Textil AG has been producing in accordance with the bluesign Standard.

This year we inaugurated the bluesign Award in order to provide our system partners with a "visual sign of their future-oriented mindset", says Detlef Fischer, VP of bluesign technologies ag, at the presentation of the first Award in Sevelen. "It is clear that the first Award had to go to Schoeller. Our very first system partner had a pioneering role not only in terms of products but also in production."

The independent and international bluesign Standard is based on five pillars: resource productivity, consumer protection, air emissions, water emissions and occupational safety. In equal measure, it gives suppliers, manufacturers, dealers, brands and the consumer the positive assurance of having done everything possible in terms of the environment, health and safety.
