Platform owner GoBlu International says this can help identify which products meet sustainability requirements of brand and retail customers, with whom they can share the information.

Paul Cowell, head of Archroma’s competence centres for brand and performance textile specialties, said: "With the pandemic crisis, textile manufacturers are experiencing numerous logistic bottlenecks and challenges. Our partners have now an additional access path to the information about chemical usage and compliance for the Archroma products they keep at their facilities."

More than 2,000 Archroma chemical products and dyes are now in the database.

BHive’s other partners include Jeanologia, Rudolf, Officina+39 and DyStar.
