This confirms that Regel meets the Bluesign CRITERIA safety and environmental requirements, the latest milestone in its long journey to sustainability.

Waste accumulation and management are one of the key challenges in the field of sustainable development, and thus recycling pre-consumer, post-consumer, and process waste to produce new products is one of the most preferred and widespread ways to reduce environmental impact. . Regel is a unique innovation as it is one of the first successful commercializations of acrylic fiber obtained by recycling waste. It is manufactured using an authentic and intimate chemical recycling process that is functionally equivalent to acrylic fiber, such as warmth, comfort and vibrant hues.
APPROVED bluesign items go through a rigorous certification process by Bluesign Technologies ag, the organization behind the certification, to ensure that these products are produced with minimal impact on people and the environment.
“We are very proud to have received the Bluesign APPROVED certificate for Regel fiber. Since Regel’s launch, we’ve received a lot of overwhelming feedback. This Bluesign APPROVED certification will further strengthen Regel’s credentials as a sustainable fiber and assure our customers that any fabric made from Regel is produced with responsibility for the environment and human safety. This certification is part of our broader sustainability strategy and we will continue our vision for a sustainable future,” said Thomas Varghese, Head of Textiles, Aditya Birla Group.
