Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Tests

One of the worst effects of burgeoning industry is the discharge of hazardous chemicals, which are often completely uncontrolled and cause dire damage to the environment and the people who live and work in the environment.

The Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) program is an initiative committed to achieving zero discharge of hazardous chemicals in the textile, leather and footwear value chain, thereby reducing harm to the environment and human well-being.

This collaboration is provided by leading brands, value chain affiliates and affiliate partners. This initiative, which first started with six leading brands in 2011, today consists of 22 brands, 12 value chain subsidiaries and seven partners. One of the main goals of this program is to reduce unnecessary duplication of audits in the textile and footwear value chain.

This zero roadmap program lays the foundation for more sustainable production to protect workers, consumers and the earth's ecosystems, and leads the way in eliminating harmful chemicals from the fashion industry's global supply chain.

The textile industry, in particular, is under increasing pressure to minimize its impact on the environment and improve the sustainability of its supply chains. The use of hazardous chemicals discharged into waste water during the production process is constantly monitored. Numerous initiatives have emerged to address this issue, but the most comprehensive of these is the ZDHC program.

Authorities today offer certification of conformity to the Restricted Substances List developed under the ZDHC program, various testing, training and on-site assessment services to help reduce the discharge of hazardous chemicals into wastewater.

These services provide a full range of sustainable chemistry and supply chain management services and help businesses gain greater control and visibility over their supply chain. Businesses minimize their risks by managing the amount of harmful wastewater discharged to the surrounding ecosystems.

In short, the purpose of the ZDHC wastewater guidelines is to provide sampling, testing and reporting of industrial wastewater and sludge from wet processing in the textile and leather industry.
Our organization also provides testing and certification services within the scope of zero discharge of hazardous chemicals (ZDHC) program, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
