Textile dye companies discuss concerns for the industry

A number of textile dye and chemical companies have signed an open letter to the Stichting ZDHC Foundation discussing their concerns for the textiles value chain, which are proving an obstacle to the overall goals of the elimination of hazardous chemistry from within the textiles supply chain.

The companies – Archroma, Colourtex, DyStar, Huntsman, Jay Chemical, Protex, Pulcra, Rudolf, and Tanatex –expressed their concerns regarding additional financial burdens being placed on the industry by brands who seek to differentiate their offering on the basis of an additional modified “individualised” Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL).

The signatories also acknowledged that in order for the ZDHC to function efficiently, a mechanism must be in place to ensure that funds are available.

Stichting ZDHC Foundation was formed in 2014, to change the funding of the collaboration to a multi-stakeholder approach.

Previously the initiative’s internal activities had been primarily organised and funded by the ZDHC member brands.
