What is ZDHC MRSL?

ZDHC guidelines are designed to reduce the release of harmful chemicals in the textile, apparel, leather, and footwear industries. Brands often demand confirmation of compliance with ZDHC MRSL from suppliers before finalizing production commitments. Approved laboratories and certifiers endorsed by ZDHC are essential in verifying adherence to the established guidelines.

Why is ZDHC Important for your Brand & Manufactures?

It is crucial for brands to adhere to ZDHC guidelines due to their role in minimizing the discharge of harmful chemicals across the textile, apparel, leather, and footwear value chains.

Brands insist on proof of compliance with the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (ZDHC MRSL) from suppliers as a prerequisite before engaging in production commitments. This stringent requirement ensures that the manufacturing process aligns with environmentally responsible practices, promoting sustainability and minimizing the environmental impact of the industry.

Compliance with ZDHC guidelines not only meets regulatory standards but also demonstrates a commitment to responsible and ethical manufacturing, thereby enhancing the brand's reputation and contributing to a cleaner and safer global supply chain.
