Sciessent Expands bluesign® Approved Offerings With Agion Active® XL

Wakefield, Mass. (March 14, 2018) – Sciessent, the leading provider of antimicrobial and odor adsorption solutions for the textile and apparel industries, today announced their partnership with bluesign® systems for their dual-function technology, Agion Active XL.

Continuing with their commitment to sustainable technologies, Sciessent has achieved bluesign® approval for their Agion Active® XL technology. This expands the partnership between Sciessent and bluesign across all of Sciessent’s offerings to the textile industry.

“Our focus remains on offering solutions that are environmentally responsible, while providing a high level of performance.” said Paul Ford, CEO with Sciessent. “We are driven to remain the industry leader in sustainable odor control technology for both our brand partners, and the end customer.”

Textile manufacturers who become bluesign® system partners agree to establish and follow management systems for improving environmental performance in five key areas of the production process: resource productivity, consumer safety, water emissions, air emissions, and occupational health and safety.

Sciessent’s Agion Active XL technology combines their Agion® Antimicrobial with their Lava XL odor adsorber to create the industry’s most robust odor control technology. There are two main sources of body odor – odor caused by bacteria, and odor vapors that come off the body. Agion Active XL addresses both sources keeping garments smelling fresh through log, repeated periods of activity.
