SGS IC-MARK Digital Tasting Plant Dyeing

At 15:00 on November 6th, SGS also successfully signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Shanghai Sinotex Eco Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as Sinoteco）at the SGS booth B5-01 in Hall 8.2 of the CIIE.  At the ceremony, Mr. Du Jiabin, President of SGS China, Mr. Ｍu Qizhi, General Manager of SGS Shanghai, Dr. Jiang Hong, Global Technical Director of Textile and Footwear Service Depart ment of SGS Group, and Mr. Zhou Hong, Deputy General Manager of Sinoteco attended the signing ceremony.

Plant dyeing has a history of thousands of years. As far away as the Zhou Dynasty, there are historical records of "dyeing grass officials". The planting and dyeing process has created the glory of China's textile industry. The national intangible cultural heritage such as "four famous brocade", fragrant cloud yarn, blue calico, batik, tie-dyeing and valerian are all completed with plant dyes.

 

In recent years, under the wave of global green revolution, plant dyeing, relying on the advantages of natural environmental protection, has made people turn their attention to natural plant dyes again, hoping to improve the pollution of printing and dyeing wastewater from the production source of textile supply chain. Creating green and sustainable textiles will become an inevitable trend in the textile industry in the future.

Plant dyed fabrics are mostly used in children's clothing, underwear, bedding, etc., and are very popular abroad for their natural, environmentally friendly, and degradable characteristics; however, plant dyes in the domestic market have not won the trust of consumers, resulting in a low market share. It once hindered the continuous inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.

SGS IC-MARK  certification service helps plant dyes to highlight their product quality and differentiation advantages, through document review, material balance accounting, production process site verification, plant source verification, laboratory testing, factory system audit and other multi-dimensional methods to test the authenticity and safety of plant dyes. Consumers can quickly check the characteristics, quality reports and verification process of vegetable dyes by scanning the two-dimensional code on the product label. IC-MARK can quickly build trust between consumption and brand, helping plant dyeing to win the domestic mainstream market. Under the new pattern of domestic cycle as the main body and domestic and foreign double cycle, SGS IC-MARK will, while inheriting the thousand-year-old non-heritage culture, use digital quality to verify the green manufacturing of the textile industry and inject new sustainable forces into the construction of ecological civilization.
