🚨 Hazardous chemicals in the clothing industry are still a major problem. Despite efforts to improve, the fashion and textile industries still face challenges due to inconsistent regulations and lack of reliable data, which affects the environment and makes it difficult to maintain transparent practices. However, companies continue to innovate. bluesign technologies ag and SCTI (Sustainable Chemistry for the Textile Industry) created the Sustainable Chemistry Index (SCI), a tool designed to evaluate the environmental impact of chemicals used in the textile industry. This tool establishes a consistent standard or "common language" for discussing sustainability in the industry. bluesign and SCTi are giving the SCI to ZDHC and it will become a part of ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Programme, which is aimed at improving chemical management in the textile industry. We're on the brink of a world where "green fashion" isn't a niche - it's the norm. It is a world in which we encourage and create a circular economy through a cross-industry team effort. A world where resources are reused and recycled, reducing waste and environmental impact. Together, we're redefining the fashion cycle. And this is a trend that won't go out of style.

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.

♻ Researchers from Wageningen University & Research have mapped out the journey of packaging - from production to recycling - and examined the contamination in the packaging at each step along the value chain. 🔍 EU (Ulphard) Thoden van Velzen: “Now that we have identified the location in the recycling value chain that creates most contamination and prevents us from closed-loop packaging recycling, we can do something about it.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dXFhcG7y

Thank you Covestro for this great video from NPE: The Plastics Show! "Discover how UBQ is turning the tide on waste management by converting traditionally non-recyclable materials into a valuable thermoplastic. This innovative process recycles materials like food scraps, greasy pizza boxes, and even dirty diapers and transforms them into UBQ material, a climate-positive alternative to conventional plastics. Watch as we explore UBQ's technology that promises to prevent landfill waste and reduce carbon emissions without sacrificing the benefits of plastics."
