Bluesign Technologies announces phase-out plan for CMR solvents

  

Textile chemical management specialist Bluesign® Technologies has announced a management and phase-out concept for critical CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction) solvents.

Bluesign® expects to see a significant reduction in the use and emissions of CMR solvents when the concept is fully implemented by its system partners by the end of 2024.

The company already works with its system partner companies to restrict the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for purposes such as polyurethane coating and laminating.

In addition to its existing approach to hazardous chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Bluesign® is now introducing a solvent management and phase-out concept for CMR solvents in cooperation with stakeholders.

CMR substances are chemical substances of specific concern due to the long-term and serious impact they may have on human health.

These substances can be carcinogenic (having the potential to cause cancer), mutagenic (causing DNA mutations), or toxic for reproduction (affecting the fertility of adults).

The CMR solvent phase-out concept applies to all bluesign®® system partner companies manufacturing articles with such solvents.
