MANAGING ZERO DISCHARGE FOR THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY The textile industry is considered one of the most chemical intensive industries in the world. Various types of chemicals are used to achieve the desired color, effects, and functionalities on textile products. Without the knowledge to building up a traceable chemical management system, supply chains are unable to identify and analyze potential risks these chemicals will bring to the environment. The SGS Holistic Solution for managing Zero Discharge addresses the chemical and environmental issues in the supply chain. It provides technical support and feasible solutions to brands and retailers alike through three strategic areas of services: Training and knowledge management, chemical risk assessment, and best practice and system implementation.
