Global discussion boards have been set up in recent years on themes of environmental sustainability and eco-toxicity. Important Brands take part to reduce the chemical substances used in production because they are toxic and harmful to man and to the environment.
Highly developed chemical management allows our technicians to understand any risks associated to the chemical substances and study the best production process to meet and satisfy the requests of the customer. This is supported by a chemical inventory which is continuously updated and allows to manage chemical products and colourants in the best way possible through targeted analyses conducted at accredited laboratories according to the quality parameters requested. Finally, complete traceability of auxiliaries, colourants and textile materials supported by the respect of good manufacturing practices keeps under control the processes carried out at our production facilities and enables the processed materials to comply almost fully with the increasingly stringent requirements of the market.
All the processes carried out at the plants of the Group will respect the parameters set out in the Product Restricted Substances List (hereinafter PRSL).
Samples of the incoming materials will be temporarily stored in a way to verify, in case of any non-conformities, that exceeding the limits indicated in the PRSL is effectively attributable to the processes carried out at our plants and not due to contaminations already present on the substrata. This will allow to establish the final reachable values linked to the possible sum effect: initial presence on the material and any micro-contamination of the process.
Gruppo Colle will keep small amounts of the incoming substrata for 60 days. After this time, the company will not accept any type of complaint. The raw and secondary materials and all regenerated items will be treated separately. In this case, sampling which exactly reproduces the population present in the materials sent will be difficult. In any case, compliance with the PRSL in our production processes is guaranteed.
For special production processes or specific requests which could require chemical formulations not suited to the realisation of products compliant with our PRSL, our technicians and sales staff will contact you and suggest valid alternatives to ensure the final product the requirements requested but also the chemical-physical performance and the colour and visible characteristics desired. In case of special requests, Gruppo Colle can provide a technical support service to analyse your needs and work out a method to achieve the best possible results. In case of particularly stringent specifications, full control of the production processes and full traceability will enable application of colourants, auxiliaries and formulations, controlled lot by lot and, in agreement with the customer, it will be possible to carry out chemical controls during the entire cycle: from the incoming raw materials to the analyses of the outgoing materials from the production site. This work practice will allow complete monitoring of the wet processing activities carried out to ensure the best technical results achievable in terms of quality and eco-toxicology.
