Chemical inventory and wastewater management for textiles and footwear

In this webinar, learn about the management of hazardous chemicals and wastewater in the apparel and footwear industry.

With over 40 categories and 15,000 different kinds of chemicals used in the textiles and footwear industry, it can be challenging to keep on top of the many processes involved, including dyeing, printing and finishing, while managing inventories safely and legally. More than 9.3 million tons of chemicals go into the supply every year, and more than 1.8 billion tons of wastewater is discharged.
