Nike is partnering with a Swiss company to increase the sustainability of textiles used in its products made in nearly 800 factories worldwide. Nike will provide its suppliers with screening tools made by the company, which is called bluesign technologies, that will allow them to select more sustainable dyes, detergents, and chemicals for use in the textile manufacturing process. The partnership was announced March 18. Other brands using bluesign tools include Lululemon, North Face, Patagonia, REI, and Black Diamond. Bluesign is respected in the industry and "offers deep technical expertise and assurance to complement Nike's in-house expertise," Nike spokeswoman Delwyn Hudson said in a statement emailed March 19.
