ZDHC Releases 2021 Impact Report on the Fashion Industry’s Environmental Detox.
The ZDHC Foundation released its 2021 Impact Report today, which shares the progress of thousands of fashion brands, manufacturers and chemical suppliers worldwide who have committed to detoxing their supply chains through more responsible and sustainable chemical and wastewater management.
“By most estimates, we have less than a decade to mitigate many of the devastating effects that climate change is inflicting. Alongside the need to drastically reduce our carbon footprint, we must also urgently address the interrelated environmental crises that receive less attention: the massive loss of biodiversity and the degradation of water sources across the planet.
By building ZDHC competence centres on greenhouse gas emissions (climate change), biodiversity, circularity and water stewardship, we are tackling these interrelated problems head on.
We must remember that chemistry will be part of the solution: it can help us understand, monitor, protect and improve the environment around us.” Frank Michel, Executive Director, The ZDHC Foundation.
