22 clothing and footwear brands, including Nike, Adidas and Levi’s, have launched an MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List) with the aim of enabling manufacturers to map sustainable chemical products against textile standards such as :
Bluesign www.bluesign.com, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) www.global-standard.org and OEKO-Tex www.oeko-tex.com.The initiative is part of the ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) Programme, and includes the 11 “priority hazardous” chemicals in the joint textile roadmap (see Milan Prato in pinfa Newsletter n°63) and specifies formulation limits for chlorinated and brominated flame retardants.
