Boardroom/Ecoapparel Canada a new Member of the bluesign standard

bluesign technologies ag announces that Boardroom/Ecoapparel.ca, Canada, is a new brand member of the bluesign standard. The independent international quality standard serves people and the environment, and identifies a responsibly acting textile industry.

It meets the general need to do something about sustainability, so that next generations can benefit from an intact environment, without compromising functionality, quality or design.

“We are glad to announce that we have gained a new brand member Boardroom/Ecoapparel.ca, which is convinced about our system. They want to reduce the environmental footprint of their products by implementing the bluesign standard in their supply chain”, says Detlef Fischer, VP of bluesign technologies ag.

“From the natural and recycled fabrics we select for our apparel to assembly line operations, we are committed to the health, safety and preservation of the environment for our staff, our customers and the planet,” said Mark Trotzuk, President, CEO and lead fashion designer of Boardroom Custom Clothing and ecoapparel.ca.

“We are very excited to partner with bluesign technologies, furthering our investment and education in improved sustainable business practices”.

The declared objective of the independent bluesign standard is to put a reliable and proactive tool at the disposal of the entire textile production chain – from raw material and component suppliers who manufacture e.g. yarns, dyes and additives, to textile manufacturers, to retailer and brand companies, to consumers.

“We have always provided a safe and fair place to work and now that we have joined bluesign technologies, we are proud to offer an even higher standard of EHS (environment, health and safety) to our clients” says Mark Trotzuk.

Boardroom Custom Clothing Ltd is an apparel design and manufacturing company located in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Established in 1996, Boardroom recently launched ecoapparel.ca, a line of environmentally-friendly clothing for the corporate market.
