WEST JORDAN, Utah — September 23, 2026 — Chloris is strengthening the commercial readiness of its flagship bio-based dye, Claessen Blue™, through a growing international verification framework covering bio-based origin, traceability, responsible chemical management and textile application.
Rather than treating individual certifications as standalone credentials, Chloris has organized them around the key questions brands, mills and manufacturers need to address when evaluating a new material.
Bio-based Origin — USDA BioPreferred® and OK biobased provide independent verification of bio-based carbon content, supporting clear and credible renewable-material claims.
Traceability — ISCC PLUS extends verification into renewable feedstocks and chain-of-custody traceability, connecting material sourcing with industrial production.
Chemical Safety — ZDHC MRSL Level 3 and OEKO-TEX® support chemical management and textile chemical safety requirements relevant to global sourcing and manufacturing.
Application Approval — GOTS Approved Input supports the use of Claessen Blue™ within GOTS-certified textile processing, subject to applicable requirements.
In parallel, Chloris uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a separate layer of quantitative environmental evidence.
While certification verifies attributes, processes and compliance pathways, LCA evaluates environmental performance within defined life-cycle boundaries. This provides brands and supply-chain partners with measurable evidence across relevant environmental indicators and helps translate sustainability from a material claim into data that can inform sourcing and ESG decisions.
Together, these elements create an increasingly integrated evidence framework around Claessen Blue™ — from renewable origin and traceability to chemical management, textile application and quantified environmental performance.
Produced through microbial fermentation using renewable feedstocks, Claessen Blue™ has been developed with three priorities in parallel: sustainability, product performance and commercial scalability.
For brands, mills and manufacturers seeking lower-impact color solutions, the objective is straightforward: make bio-based color not only innovative, but increasingly verifiable, usable and ready to scale.
