Textile Exchange is excited to announce the release of the second bundle of chemical snapshots. This new group of Snapshots is designed to complement the first series of snapshots released in April 2013.
This bundle expands the collection to include more of the chemicals that leading textile, apparel, and footwear supply chain partners are paying attention to in manufacturing processes.
Included in this offering are: Azo Dyes, Chlorobenzenes, Chlorophenols, Formaldehyde, Halogenated Flame Retardants, Halogenated Solvents, Heavy Metals, Organotins, Phthalates, and Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCP).
This collection provides a concise look at health and environmental concerns as well as industry practices and legislation related to the use of these chemicals. It also includes potential alternatives and links to additional resources for further information.
