The Asia Dyestuff Industry Federation (ADIF) is the latest organisation to commit to the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) group as a contributor, with the move expected to “significantly” accelerate sustainable chemical management uptake across the Asia region.

The move was announced during a joint information event hosted by the China Dyestuff Industry Association (CDIA), ADIF and ZDHC at the 2019 China InterDye exhibition.

“The new partnership between ADIF and ZDHC will centre around a standardised way to manage input chemistry in the textile and leather sectors and to reinforce the importance of harmonised tools and implementation approaches on sustainable chemical management across the supply chains,” ZDHC says. 

Other key aspects of the collaboration will include awareness raising and knowledge exchange, as well as innovation and best practice showcases from the dyestuff producers in Asia.

ADIF is the representation of dyestuff associations and manufacturers in the Asia region, which accounts for 80% of the dyestuff production capacity worldwide.
