Managing from the beginning of manufacturing process, bluesign^® provides solutions for enterprises to eliminate harms on environment, connects suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, brands and consumers to control and restrict from ingredients, chemical additives to the waste discharge during the process. Based on the five principles: resource productivity, consumer safety, gas emission, water discharge, occupational health & safety, bluesign^® assists enterprises filtering hazardous substances, implementing improvement plans, counseling on improvement process, testing to obtain certification, providing recycled, ecologically sustainable, and least polluted textile products that meet the EHS standards.

bluesign^® divides all materials into blue category (permitted usage), grey category (conditional usage), and black category (prohibited usage). synnix^® strictly complies with this standard by using most of blue category materials, using limited grey category materials and forbidding black category materials. Our goal is not only to meet the standard, but also to achieve environmental sustainability.

The specific tested product must be proven to not endanger human health, and its production process and waste treatment must also comply with eco-friendly and environmental protection standards; an on-site inspection every three years must be accepted to maintain the stability and consistency of products and process.

Energy utilization is closely related with environmental and ecological sustainability. Only by using energy efficiently and improving efficacy can Synnix^® achieve environmental protection and carbon reduction. ISO 50001 energy management system allows enterprises to meet the latest environmental protection and carbon emission standards, and also to further locate core problems, improves energy efficiency, and assists enterprises on reducing cost and increasing profit.

In order to enhance the efficiency of energy utilization, synnix^® has changed traditional motors to inverter motors, reuse thermal energy to dried sludge, decreasing volume and weight to reduce the burden of the environment. We keep testing our limit and hope that we will become the leader of “eco textile” eventually.

synnix^® E-Saving (Tonal Effect) is the invention of nylon high and low amino that relates to a process for making nylon plaid or stripe fabrics bearing tonal effect by a single dyeing step with dyeing temperature reduced from 100˚c to 80˚c, conserving 20% of energy. Take dyeing 700 yards (equal to approximately 100kg) three-color plaid fabrics as an example, by reducing three dyes to one, 2000L of water and 220,000 kcal of heat energy can be conserved, hence achieving the purpose of energy and water saving while pursuing trendy fashion.

In the past, due to the incompatibility of “fluorine” and water, the textile industry extensively used inexpensive but effective long-chain fluorocarbon water repel chemical during the finishing process of water repellency, oil-repel, and stain-resistance. However, it is not easily decomposed and high risk of carcinogenicity. Although an improved short-chain fluorocarbon water repel chemical was launched subsequently, it remained a huge concern to the environment and the health. The problem remains unsolved until the fluoride-free water repel chemical was introduced to the market. With the enterprise mission focused on sustainability since the beginning, synnix^® has gradually shifted to adopting PFC free DWR for finishing on more than 80% of products, and synnix^® continues to move towards the goal of no “fluorine” in all products.

100% Recycled polyester fabrics with GRS certified is the first synnix^® product that replaces petrochemical raw materials. Most of them coming from PET bottles and used clothes that may seriously pollute the ocean and air. However, after crushing, washing, separating, drying and melted into polyester chips, which can then be used for independent spinning and blended with other eco materials. synnix^® utilizes excellent finishing technology to produce these materials into various fabrics with functions including wicking quick dry and water repellency, with its lightweight and soft features loved by many end users who value environmental protection, it is now a very popular eco-friendly material.

If nylon waste is disposed by discarding or burning, it either becomes permanent waste or leads to severe air pollution; for ecological sustainability, recycling nylon fabric source including factory yarn waste, fabric scrap or selvage, then transforming these waste into brand new nylon fiber using the polymerization technology. It solves the pollution problem and provides a new material for the textile industry as well. In the next stage, synnix^® plans to adopt recycled nylon materials completely to meet GRS requirements and implement in production. The features of wrinkle-free and flexibility allows it to be used diversely.

Different from other recycled eco materials, bio-based nylon is derived from renewable raw materials of natural substance waste such as coffee grounds and castor oil, reducing dependence on the petrochemical industry. It blends castor oil together with recycled industrial waste oil to produce bio-based/mass nylon fabrics, the latest eco-friendly textile with similar performance compared to virgin or recycled nylon fabrics in terms of lightweight, high abrasion resistance and high tear strength making it an ideal fabric for various outdoor merchandises. Even though industrial waste oil cost higher, and less popularization than recycled nylon fabrics, this innovative technology is a new trend of pursuing sustainable and natural textiles.

Lamination is the final finish of functional fabrics. PU membranes separated from the fabrics consumed substantial energy power and costs after recycled, which leads to poor recycling efficiency. After using eco-friendly membranes, fabrics and functional membranes of the same materials can be recycled together, which drastically reduces the expenses and energy consumption, also achieving economic benefits

Recycled polyester membrane

produced by recycled industrial waste replacing petrochemical materials, it is easy to bond with any eco-friendly fabrics. It performs comparable tear strength and durability, with high function on waterproof and breathable.

Recyclable nylon membrane

apart from being waterproof and breathable, it contains the features of super lightweight, anti-aging, and UV resistance, and it also maintains excellent resilience under extremely low temperature. Nylon textile products are able to truly adopt into the recycling system with its exclusive technology to maintain sustainable uses of resources.

Bio-based recyclable nylon membrane

a low density membrane produced by mixture of 30-40% castor oil and fossil oil instead of petrochemical materials, reducing 68% of carbon emission and 71% of energy. Retaining the excellent performance of all nylon membranes, its softness and low temperature endurability characteristics are also superior to other membranes, making it a new future success of functional laminated fabrics.
