To encourage complete chemical transparency in Italy’s fashion supply chain, testing business Centrocot and chemical management provider GoBlu have teamed up.
Through this collaboration, GoBlu’s digital platform, BHive, and Centrocot’s specialized testing, verification, certification, and training services are brought together. The partnership intends to promote chemical transparency and sustainability in Italy’s fashion industry by making it easier to adopt and manage sustainable chemical goods.
The CEO of Centrocot, Grazia Cerini, emphasizes the value of this alliance for their clients, who will be able to handle validated chemical products on the BHive platform. By combining Centrocot’s chemical knowledge and GoBlu’s IT innovation and chemical management experience, the partnership offers full services.
For Italian players in the textile and fashion industries, Lars Doemer, Managing Director of GoBlu, sees BHive as a top chemical management solution. Italian customers can access resources to achieve complete transparency in their supply chains thanks to Centrocot’s expertise and certification services.
Oeko-Tex has partnered with GoBlu and Centrocot to certify non-hazardous end products and their constituent parts. One of the 17 institutions authorized to grant different Oeko-Tex certifications worldwide is Centrocot, demonstrating their dedication to industry standards.
The partnership between GoBlu and Oeko-Tex has produced some noteworthy successes, such as the inclusion of BHive in the Oeko-Tex STeP Certification, boosting their chemical management programs.
