Since October 1, 2025, the French fashion industry has entered a new era. The introduction of the eco-score has created stricter expectations for brands, requiring them to rethink how they design, produce, and market their clothing.
What the eco-Score measures
The eco-score evaluates garments based on their environmental impact across multiple factors: materials, manufacturing processes, transport, accessories, and dyes. Every decision now directly affects a product’s score. This system is not just regulatory; it is also a tool for brands to highlight their commitment to sustainability.
The challenge of black garments
Black remains a timeless and versatile color, but traditional carbon-based pigments are highly polluting and negatively impact the eco-score. Brands need alternatives that maintain the depth and intensity of black while reducing environmental footprint.
BioBlack TX: A sustainable alternative
BioBlack TX is a bio-based black pigment with a negative carbon footprint. It delivers the same rich, deep black as conventional pigments but with a significantly lower environmental impact. By adopting BioBlack TX, brands can reduce emissions, improve their eco-score, and demonstrate concrete sustainability efforts.
Driving innovation through regulation
The introduction of the eco-score has accelerated innovation in textile materials and dyes. Solutions like BioBlack TX show that it is possible to maintain quality and style while complying with stricter environmental requirements. Sustainability is no longer optional; it has become the new standard for fashion.
The strategic advantage for brands
For fashion brands, embracing sustainable pigments and eco-conscious materials is a strategic decision. BioBlack TX allows companies to combine style, performance, and environmental responsibility — meeting the expectations of increasingly informed and environmentally aware consumers.
