Microfibers x Biodegradation = Reduced Impact
When it comes to the interaction between microfiber shedding and biodegradation, does improving one undermine the other? How does more stable material biodegrade? How do they affect durability and performance? Are we using chemicals that leach during or after a product’s life? We’ll start with the basics.

We discussed a test method developed to address this relationship and showed how to leverage this data in development and marketing supply chains.

Future-proof Businesses Through Digital Chemical Management
New legal requirements around the world and increasing customer demands for transparency have been urging fashion brands and retailers to take a closer look at their supply chains and to collect and report an increasing amount of data. Examples were the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act or the EU's Proposal for the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, which also outlined the adoption of a digital product passport. It has become a legal obligation to provide detailed information about chemical products used in the production of fashion and textiles.

This webinar discussed how digitalization and transparency enable future-proof chemical management that allow brands to meet the new legal requirements and provide customers with chemical data on a product level. In addition, the availability of easily retrievable and understandable digital data has the potential to enable factories to make informed and sustainable decisions on their own.
