Abstract: The ZDHC Roadmap to Zero Program is a coalition of fashion brands, value chain affiliates and associates empowering the global textile, leather, apparel, and footwear value chain to substitute hazardous chemicals for safer ones in the production process. ZDHC takes a holistic, open approach, supporting safer chemical management practices across the entire value chain. By collaborating with ZDHC, organizations can mitigate risk, respond to changing customer demands, cut costs, and preserve valuable resources. Tools like CleanChain, BHIVE, BVE3 help to reduce costs and the administrative burden of collecting supply chain data by performing qualitative & quantitative analysis of chemicals. CleanChain, an ADEC Innovation, helps to automate the complex tasks of tracking, managing, and reporting compliance with Manufacturing Restricted Substance Lists (MRSLs) and Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs). In this research my objective is to identify the qualitative & quantitative analysis for the following groups of chemicals used in the different process like Alkylphenol (AP) and Alkylphenol Ethoxylates (APEOs): Including All Isomers, Anti- Microbials & Biocides, Chlorinated Paraffins, Chlorobenzenes and Chlorotoluene, Chlorophenols, Dimethyl Formamide (DMFa), Dyes – Carcinogenic or Equivalent Concern, Dyes – Disperse (Sensitizing), Dyes – Navy Blue Colorants, Flame Retardants, Glycols / Glycol Ethers, Halogenated Solvents, Organotin Compounds, Other/Miscellaneous Chemicals, Perfluorinated and Polyfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs), Phthalates – including all other esters of ortho-phthalic acid, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), Restricted Aromatic Amines (Cleavable from Azo-colorants), UV Absorbers, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) & the impact of the un evaluated chemical which may have the following impact like Skin irritant/skin sensitizer/eye irritant Carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic Endocrine disruptors, Persistent, bio accumulative, toxic to aquatic life, Specific target organ toxic, Respiratory sensitizer, Acute toxic through oral, dermal or inhalation route, Developmental toxin/neurotoxin/impact on the central nervous system.
