Hohenstein and The BHive® by GoBlu have announced a partnership to simplify chemical compliance and sustainability reporting across global textile supply chains.
The collaboration combines Hohenstein’s testing and certification expertise with The BHive’s digital infrastructure for chemical data. Together, the two organizations aim to reduce complexity for brands, manufacturers and suppliers facing stricter regulations, customer demands and sustainability goals.
“This synergy provides measurable value,” says Stefan Droste, CEO of Hohenstein. “It leads to improved supply chain transparency, reduced compliance risks and faster certification outcomes.”
The BHive platform collects and analyzes chemical data for Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) reporting. Hohenstein strengthens data integrity with laboratory testing, on-site audit verification and internationally recognized certifications, including OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT.

At GoBlu, our mission has always been to make chemical management simple and impactful. Working with Hohenstein allows factories and brands to connect data and certification in one seamless process, reducing complexity and driving real impact for people and the planet.”
