Bavarian viscose specialty fiber manufacturer Kelheim Fibers has joined ZDHC’s ‘Roadmap to Zero’ program
The non-profit organization, with more than 160 contributors worldwide, aims to eliminate harmful substances from the textile value chain. The ZDHC guidelines will provide the MMF producer uniform criteria for measuring indicators such as wastewater, air emissions and other process-related parameters. The measured data is independently monitored and published.
The collaboration gives Kelheim Fibers an access to range of best practices in chemical management and an opportunity to network and learn from each other. The company claims to be the world’s first EMAS-validated viscose fiber producer. The company sees its ZDHC contributorship as another building block on the road to even more sustainable fiber production.
