Bluesign Concept

We all are bikers and we love to ride in and with the nature. But every day we are confronted with problems such as global warming, shortage of resources,etc. Deductive we, and especially our kids, will not be able to practice our sport in future in the same nature like it is today.

«The rapid success of textile products is unfortunately too often achieved at the expense of the environment, sustainability and consumer protection. Conventional test methods usually only focus on aspects of consumer protection» (BLUESIGN®).

To antagonize this QLOOM has decided on the BLUESIGN®-standard with its well-conceived total concept.

Conventional test methods focus only the aspect, that used textils are wearablewithout problems. In contrast the BLUESIGN®-standard peers the whole manufacturing process. Although not only the output comes to the fore, but the whole chain of economic value added, starts from the input of raw material beyond production itself up to the end-product.Therefore BLUESIGN® provides a standard for the entire production process.

Although not only consumer profits by a guaranteed ecologically compatible textile, but especially the nature by an eco-friendly produced textile by efficient production with saving water and energie as well as reducing waste.

The independent bluesign®-standard stands for lasting production and ensures low- pollutant textiles based on princples of resource productivity, consumer safety, air emission, water emission and occupational health & safety.

Qloom decides on the BLUESIGN®-standard in order to take much pleasure in nature for a long time.

The BLUESIGN® standard brings together the entire textile manufacturing chain to jointly reduce the ecological footprint of a responsibly acting textile industry. Instead of focusing on finished product testing, the BLUESIGN® standard analyzes all input streams – from raw materials to chemical components, to resources – with a sophisticated «Input Stream Management» process. Prior to production, components are assessed based on their ecotoxicological impact. Potentially harmful substances can hence be eliminated before production even begins.

A key aspect of the BLUESIGN® standard is never to compromise on product functionality, quality or design. Using «Best Available Technology» (BAT) along the entire textile manufacturing chain ensures that products meet the highest environmental standards without cutting back on performance requirements.

Such products carry the «BLUESIGN® safety» label.They are made entirely of fabrics, semifinished goods and accessories that were manufactured according to the BLUESIGN® standard and meet highest criteria regarding consumer protection, resource efficiency and occupational health and safety.
