Chemical Risk Management and Recycled Textile Materials Verification Solution

Increasing regulatory scrutiny of chemical management is extending beyond conventional materials. With the rise of recyclability as a key enabler of circularity and carbon reduction in the textile industry, there remains the risk that restricted substances could enter the supply chain through unknown source materials, legacy chemicals or inadequate recycling controls. Consumers also expect greater environmental responsibility alongside innovation in design and functionality, and businesses must respond with robust chemical monitoring to ensure regulatory compliance and to meet customer expectations.

This webinar provides a closer examination of chemical management risks, with an initial focus on industry trends in environmental protection. Presenters Nicole Zhu and Brenda Chiu will explore the use of recycled materials and recycling controls while examining strategies to support credible and verifiable content claims.
