Everlane is partnering Bluesign in an effort to move toward more sustainable textile manufacturing practices. This partnership will ensure working with the cleanest materials possible and advance toward reducing their environmental impact. Their aim is to lead the change toward an honest and sustainable supply chain.
Bluesign is a textile production-focused auditing body. Bluesign’s standards were developed in the interest of providing safe consumer products, reducing the impact of manufacturing on people and the environment, and promoting the responsible use of resources. Everlane, launched in 2011, has a revolutionary message about material and supply chain traceability. The organization works with brands and manufacturers to improve operations throughout their supply chains. The brand has mindful of its impact on the environment through the materials and processes it uses.
As a subscriber to the Bluesign system, Everlane’s textile production partners are subject to the group’s independent verification program. Everlane’s Clean Silk collection is being produced by a Bluesign-certified silk manufacturer. All silk produced by Everlane will be dyed and washed with 100 per cent recycled water and 100 per cent renewable energy by 2022. In October 2018, Everlane announced that it would remove all virgin plastic from its supply chain by 2021.
