Benefits of Collaboration
Complex standard setting like the phase out of certain chemicals is best undertaken as part of a collaboration, like the ZDHC Group, so that individual brands do not develop multiple conflicting standards with which shared suppliers will have difficulty complying.
The ZDHC MRSL will allow the ZDHC Group to better assist suppliers in addressing wastewater discharge issues by directly targeting input chemical formulations used in production instead of relying on finished product and/or wastewater testing.
To support raw material suppliers, including wet-processing facilities, subcontractors and factories assembling or manufacturing garments and footwear transitioning to this new chemical guidance, the ZDHC Group is accompanying the release of the MRSL with supplier guidance, support materials and training.
The ZDHC Group expects to update the MRSL to include limits for leather processing in the near future. Special considerations of the chemistry involved made it necessary for ZDHC to separately address leather processing at a later date.
