The GreenScreen Certified® Standard for Textile Chemicals was created to promote safer chemicals use in the global supply chain of the apparel and footwear sector. Formulators across the globe are using the Standard to communicate the actions they are taking to reduce the use of chemicals of high concern. The restricted substances list for this certification includes Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), and the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) manufacturing restricted substances list (MRSL).
The Standard protects consumers while minimizing the possible impact of banned hazardous chemicals on production workers, local communities, and the environment.The prohibition of PFAS ‘the forever chemicals’ is essential to help stop further contamination of global water systems.
