Canopy partners with ZDHC

Canopy and ZDHC are partnering to increase their collaborative work toward taking on the negative impacts of chemical processing, wastewater discharge and raw material sourcing in global viscose production.

The aim is to improve the ecological footprint of the fashion sector on forests, species, waterways. The partnership brings together the two organizations’ expertise on different sustainability issues in the fashion industry. ZDHC’s deep knowledge on toxics pollution will combine Canopy’s 20 years of forest expertise to work toward creating integrated solutions for brands and manufacturers to address the issues related to viscose production.

ZDHC has expertise in chemical processing and wastewater. Since 2011 ZDHC has been working to drive the global implementation of safer chemical management practices in the global textile, apparel, leather and footwear value chain. Last year, ZDHC expanded its content scope to include the production of manmade cellulosic fibers and develop guidelines for wastewater, sludge, waste and air emissions specific to cellulosic production. Over the past six years, Canopy has worked to eliminate the world’s ancient and endangered forests from the production of viscose. The initiative represents 198 clothing brands, retailers and designers collaborating on reaching this goal. Canopy is also working to kickstart new industries that make viscose and fabrics from next-generation sources including recycled clothing and leftover straw.
