With solutions that address complex and constantly changing regulatory and compliance environments, SAFE EDGE+ equips the textile supply chain.
Switzerland’s Pratteln, September 5, 2024 – SAFE EDGE+ was introduced today by Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals for sustainable solutions, to assist mills and brands in delivering supply chain transparency, speeding time to market, and staying ahead of changing laws for the textile sector. By fusing Foundation+ with The Safe Edge platform, this innovative project signifies a significant commitment to offering a path for compliance and safer chemicals for use in the textile sector.
Launched in 2021, the Safe Edge by Archroma online platform was made to enable manufacturers, retailers, and brands to quickly and easily confirm the regulatory and compliance status of Archroma products, including certifications, ecotoxicological data, regulations, and expert notes. A carefully chosen range of Archroma products that make use of cutting-edge technology and may contain hazardous or controlled chemicals that have been reduced or eliminated by more than 95% when compared to the existing industry standard limits is known as Foundation+, the company’s beyond compliant portfolio. It helps producers, brands, and retailers keep ahead of changing rules by providing safer and more environmentally friendly options.
“Today, businesses must prioritize transparency and traceability. To enter and compete in the textile and apparel industries, enterprises must meet regulatory and certification criteria. Erwin Lucic, Head of Integrated Quality & Product Stewardship at Archroma, stated, “SAFE EDGE+ is our commitment to supporting the value chain in the challenging and evolving regulatory and compliance space of textile dyes and chemicals.” “This is in line with our ‘PLANET CONSCIOUS+’ vision of a more sustainable textile and fashion industry in which safety is paramount.”
“At Archroma, we take a proactive approach to develop products with cleaner chemistries that outperform what is currently available and do more than is currently required. In this way, we anticipate future restrictions and ensure Archroma’s products are always compliant with upcoming environmental standards – smoothing the way for our customers,” Paul Cowell, Vice President of Innovation, Marketing, Brand Engagement and Sustainability said.
