A case study with the Redbud textile factory in Changshu, China (also a Walmart supplier) showed that, through the adoption of some of NRDC's best practices and an upfront investment of $72,000, the factory is accruing savings at a rate of $840,000 annually.
Other retailers and brands collaborating with NRDC in the Clean by Design effort include Gap, Levi, Nike, Marks and Spencer, and Li and Fung, a large Hong Kong sourcing firm. Together, these seven major apparel corporations comprise a critical mass with the potential to change the environmental impacts of the apparel supply chain.
The Natural Resources Defense Council is a national, nonprofit organization of scientists, lawyers and environmental specialists dedicated to protecting public health and the environment. Founded in 1970, NRDC has 1.3 million members and online activists, served from offices in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Beijing.
