A substantial number of synthetic chemicals are used in the fashion, textile, and footwear industries to turn raw materials into final products. Moreover, some additional special chemicals are added to give the product a certain effect or function. However, some are known to cause cancer, change DNA, or be harmful to human reproduction.
Since consumers are constantly in close contact with textiles and clothing, the need for safety and quality is paramount. In recent years, major markets such as the US and EU have been restricting or banning many dangerous chemicals that have been used in textiles for years.
