Experts collaborate to update ZDHC wastewater guidelines
ZDHC Foundation has published an update to its Wastewater Guidelines, combining previously separate textile and leather wastewater guidelines into one.
The ZDHC set up a Wastewater Council - made up of experts from the textile industry, academia and water treatment industry - to help revise the guidelines, and also held a public consultation.
Phil Patterson, ZDHC Wastewater Council chair, said: “Since the publication of the first ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines in 2016, the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme has evolved to become much more of a holistic chemical management programme and this update is an important pillar in that approach.
