A sharing session that will allow participants to gain insights into how different global governing bodies are restricting the use of hazardous substances along the supply chain in the textile & footwear industry.

Textiles comprise a significant part of our consumer world. During the manufacturing process, textiles may go through a range of chemical and non-chemical treatments – including preparation and pre-treatment, dyeing, printing and refinement of fabrics.

Many countries & regions had been restricting or banning many dangerous chemicals that have been used in textiles for years.

In this webinar, our team will highlight some of the latest restrictions and proposed legislation for Softlines products to help stakeholders to identify the need to manage chemicals for an improved health and environmental protection in the textile sector and how SGS services can help to accomplish this.
