ZDHC brands to align their screened chemistry approach

15/01/2019
Four of the signatory brands of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) programme – Levi Strauss, Nike, H&M and C&A – have agreed to align their approaches to screened chemistry.

ZDHC describes screened chemistry as “the concept of identifying safer alternatives whilst eliminating hazardous chemicals”. It adds that this type of approach is “critical” to ensure that human health and environmental impacts are fully understood before adopting alternative chemistries.

The four aforementioned brands will share and align their screened chemistry tools to support a unified approach and platform. They will then hand the future development of screened chemistry to the ZDHC Foundation. 

They will also form the core of the new ZDHC Roadmap to Zero programme task team and will invite contributors from other brands and partners to continue to drive this initiative.
