Talon International, Inc. Becomes a bluesign(R) System Partner
Furthers Talon's Commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/08/16 -- Talon International, Inc. (OTCQB: TALN), a leading global supplier of zippers, apparel fasteners, trim and stretch technology products, announced that is has become a bluesign® system partner, joining a highly respected network of brands and manufacturers who are interested in improving resource sustainability in the manufacture of their products by reducing the use of harmful chemicals and their impact on the environment.
The bluesign® system is a globally renowned initiative which works with chemical suppliers, textile mills and component manufacturers to eliminate harmful substances from the supply chain and sets and controls standards for an environmentally friendly and safe production. This helps ensure that final products meet stringent consumer safety requirements worldwide and also provides confidence to consumers that they are acquiring sustainable products.
"By applying the bluesign® system to Talon''s manufacturing process, we intend to conserve resources and reduce the impact of our products on people and the environment," stated Larry Dyne, Talon''s Chief Executive Officer. "Talon is one of only a handful of zipper manufacturers and trim suppliers in the world to become a bluesign® system partner, which is an important step in our strategy to reach premium brands that are interested in their product sustainability and improving their environmental footprint. This is a significant achievement for the Talon brand, as the bluesign® certification covers a wide range of our core products including zippers, heat seals, metal hardware, and woven and printed labels and tapes."
Bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safer for the environment, workers, and end customers.
Textile manufacturers that become bluesign® system partners agree at the outset to establish management systems for improving environmental performance in five key areas of the production process: resource productivity, consumer safety, water emissions, air emissions, and occupational health and safety. System partners regularly report their progress in energy, water and chemical usage and are subject to on-site audits.
