ZDHC

Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals

ZDHC’s Roadmap to Zero Discharge initiative eliminates hazardous chemicals from its global supply chain. This joint effort brings together a coalition of fashion brands and value chain partners to eliminate hazardous chemicals from the production of apparel and textiles and replace them with safer alternatives. The initiative aims to establish more sustainable manufacturing processes that ensure the well-being of workers, consumers and the planet’s ecosystems.

The ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) helps chemical manufacturers by providing them with guidance on substances that can be avoided in their products.

Suppliers can also benefit from this list as they need to source various chemical products from formulators to produce materials. The ZDHC MRSL makes the job of suppliers easier by ensuring that these products do not contain hazardous substances. The list contains hazardous chemicals that manufacturers and retailers should eliminate from their supply chains. Currently, more than 20 global brands and retailers have joined the ZDHC Roadmap and are committed to eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals in the production of apparel and textiles.

SERIMAK has a core range of Seritex products that are certified at ZDHC Confidence Level 3. As a member of the program, 72 of our products are listed at ZDHC Gateway Level 3.
