Saitex Mill has officially become a Bluesign System Partner, advancing Bluesign's Denim Initiative aimed at driving sustainability in the global denim industry. This collaboration now unites Saitex Mill with Saitex Laundry, which joined Bluesign over a decade ago, to provide an end-to-end sustainable denim production process.

Founded by SanjeevBahl, Saitex is renowned for its eco-friendly garment manufacturing and commitment to reducing the environmental impact of textile production. The company's facilities in Vietnam and Los Angeles employ cutting-edge technologies, such as closed-loop water systems, energy-efficient processes, and the use of Bluesign Approved chemicals to minimize waste and carbon emissions. Saitex’s operations are also certified by Fair Trade, Leed, and B Corp, reinforcing its dedication to ethical and sustainable practices.

The new partnership means brands can now label denim garments as Bluesign Denim, produced entirely within Saitex's facilities. With both the mill and laundry as system partners, brands can ensure their denim meets Bluesign’s strict environmental standards throughout the production process.

Saitex's state-of-the-art fabric mill near Ho Chi Minh City, opened in 2022, incorporates spinning, weaving, dyeing, and finishing under one roof. Designed with sustainability in mind, the mill reduces energy consumption, harmful chemicals, and water use. It is equipped with solar panels that reduce carbon emissions and features Smart-Indigo technology for hydrosulfite-free dyeing.

Saitex aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, with its mill expecting Leed Gold certification by November 2024. The partnership with Bluesign strengthens Saitex’s position as a global leader in sustainable denim manufacturing, contributing to reducing the textile industry's environmental footprint.

Bluesign CEO Daniel Rufenacht praised the partnership, highlighting that brands now have a complete solution for responsibly produced denim.
