In this webinar, learn about the management of hazardous chemicals and wastewater in the apparel and footwear industry.
With over 40 categories and 15,000 different kinds of chemicals used in the textiles and footwear industry, it can be challenging to keep on top of the many processes involved, including dyeing, printing and finishing, while managing inventories safely and legally. More than 9.3 million tons of chemicals go into the supply every year, and more than 1.8 billion tons of wastewater is discharged.
As consumers demand more sustainable production models, businesses need to be proactive in response to chemical inventory and wastewater management issues.
This webinar explores hazardous chemical and wastewater management, allowing for a better understanding of source, control and compliance, and offering expert supply chain solutions.
