In many senses regulation and sustainable certification moves up a gear when it comes to the inks and chemicals used in Digital Textile Printing. In this area there is no room for compromise, because the devastating effects of poor ink and chemical management cannot be under-estimated.
Water and air pollutants such as heavy metals, formaldehyde and Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APE), are great dangers to the environment, the workforce and the consumer, therefore regulation and certification has had to be both robust and enforceable.
The environmental management directives for inks and hazardous chemicals and their non-use, are defined within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Programme implementations.
The United Nations SDG’s may provide the goals and aims of controlling noxious chemicals and processes; however, it is the EU REACH Regulations that provide the scientific, evaluation and legal framework that governs the use of inks and chemicals in Textile production world-wide.
Three organisations stand out as being leaders in the evaluation process whose main objectives are consumer protection, environmental certification and workforce safety insurance.
First among these is the Greenguard Certification system.Products that have achieved GREENGUARD Certification are scientifically proven to meet some of the world’s most rigorous third-party chemical emissions standards, helping to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure.
Secondly, there is the Bluesign system of product verification, which provides a widespread, and, some would say, all encompassing framework of support for responsible and transparent production processes.
Finally, there is the OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT, which is a mechanism by which Textile Chemical Suppliers demonstrate that their products can be safely used in sustainable textile production.
The ECO PASSPORT rigorously authenticates the safety of ingredients used in the production of Textile finishing compounds, Textile Dyestuffs and Textile Pigments. Over the last 20 years the ECO PASSPORT has provided an invaluable tool for all involved in Textile Production, from Retailers to Importers and from Printers to Apparel Manufacturers.
Covering all stages of production from Raw Materials being used to Workforce Environment the OEKO TEX ECO PASSPORT provides reliable sustainability and safety evaluation that currently encompasses over 160,000 separate product certifications.
Luckily, we got ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX certificate recently. Faced with the huge increase in the total volume of sublimation inks, relevant countries’ concerns about product green development, and end users’ demands for environmental protection, this certification is undoubtedly good news for us.
