ZDHC’s manufacturers’ restricted substance list for leather in final review

14/10/2015
The Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) group has said its specific manufacturers’ restricted substance list for leather is in its final review and will be available for companies in the market to use in the early part of 2016.

Scott Echols, ZDHC’s technology director, said at the Planet Textiles conference in Shanghai on October 14 that a manufacturers’ restricted substance list goes further than the better known restricted substance list because it doesn’t just keep restricted substances out of finished products, but out of the supply chain altogether.

ZDHC has had a manufacturers’ restricted substance list in place for textiles for some time. It announced earlier this year that it would work with multi-stakeholder body the Leather Working Group to review the textiles list and adapt it for the leather industry.
