Bluesign is accelerating sustainability in footwear with bold initiatives, including expanding its Bluesign Finder database and partnering with Vibram. These efforts support the industry's shift toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable manufacturing amid growing environmental regulations.
Last week, Bluesign announced a major update to its Bluesign Finder, a digital platform for certified chemical products. The addition of Safe Polymers provides manufacturers with a wider selection of eco-friendly, high-performance materials that meet strict environmental and safety standards. This expansion simplifies access to verified sustainable polymers, helping brands minimize waste, enhance efficiency, and comply with evolving regulations.
Bluesign is also strengthening its footwear sustainability initiative through a partnership with Vibram, a global leader in high-performance rubber soles. Leveraging its input stream management system, Bluesign ensures that harmful chemicals are eliminated at the start of production, reducing environmental impact while maintaining strict safety standards.
The collaboration aligns with stringent EU regulations, including the EU Green Deal, setting a science-backed blueprint for responsible footwear manufacturing. By integrating sustainability at the foundation of production, Bluesign and Vibram are driving a major industry shift toward cleaner, regulation-compliant processes.
With these advancements, Bluesign is reinforcing its leadership in sustainable chemistry, helping footwear brands transition to a more responsible future.
