Czech Greenpeace in the Czech Republic stands behind many campaigns connected with textile industry to protect the environment in the Czech Republic.

For example the Detox campaign whose mission is to stop poisoning waterways around the world with harmful chemicals. It has exposed links between textile manufacturing facilities causing toxic water pollution and many of the world's top clothing brands. Nike, Adidas, Puma or H&M have committed to Detox, in response to the growing international campaign. The listed chemicals are for example alkynphenols, phthalates, azo dyes, chlorobenzenes and heavy metals. Other top clothing companies still need to get a move on to detox their brands and help detox our future.

Czech republic has become a member of this project too. Czech volunteers and members of Czech Greenpeace office have been fighting for toxic-free fashion.
