A substantial number of synthetic chemicals are used in the fashion, textile and footwear industries to turn raw materials into final products. Not only do these chemicals pose health hazards to end-users or the people who work with them, but many of the chemicals also end up in freshwater systems.

Brands and manufacturers seeking to "do fashion better" should therefore be concerned about the amount of chemical usage in production, and where possible transition to sustainable fiber sources, and alternative natural dyes and processing methods.

On Thursday April 17th 2025, our expert will provide an in-depth explanation of some highly concerned chemicals, such as PFAS and Bisphenols, and their related requirements in major markets, enabling you to implement a proactive and comprehensive compliance program for your products.

* This webinar is aimed at quality and regulatory compliance professionals (Buyers, Manufacturers, Merchants & Quality Assurance Executives) in the textile industry.

Agenda:

Overview of Highly Concerned Chemicals found in Textiles: PFAS & Bisphenols
Applications and Concerns
