Huntsman Textile Effects is a proud member of the Global Chemical Industry Round Table initiative (GCIRT) and has announced its decision to join the ZDHC Foundation as a contributor. The company will be uploading its key products onto the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module and support the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) and the related “pyramid” conformity system designed to eliminate duplicative approaches.

This is the fundamental base to the success of ZDHC and all stakeholders of the textiles value chain. Huntsman Textile Effects will actively engage in various task forces focused on supporting the continuous improvement programs of ZDHC. As such Huntsman Textile Effects, together with the GCIRT Initiative, look forward to a close and open cooperation with all stakeholders of ZDHC.
