Hazardous chemicals in clothing have been a major problem for decades. Despite efforts, the textile and fashion industries still struggle with varying regulations and inconsistent data, impacting the environment and lacking transparency. In 2022, bluesign and SCTI team up to develop the Sustainable Chemistry Index (SCI), a comprehensive tool for assessing environmental impact and creating a common language for the industry. We are excited to announce that bluesign and SCTI are donating the SCI to ZDHC, advancing sustainable chemical management as part of the Chemicals to Zero (CTZ-A) program. In 2024, the SCI will undergo ZDHC's stakeholder engagement to enhance sustainability and circularity in the Roadmap to Zero Program.
