Developed by a special working group of the American Apparel & Footwear Association’s (AAFA’s) Environmental Task Force, the RSL is a practical tool that provides apparel companies and their supply chain with information related to regulations and laws that restrict or ban certain chemicals and substances in finished apparel products around the world.

With the implementation of RSL, Page aims to ensure that there are no hazardous chemicals in the finished product, zero incidences of product safety-related issues, and an enhanced product and manufacturing experience for all stakeholders along the value chain.
