The update of the ZDHC manufacturing restricted substances list
On 1 November 2022, version 3.0 of the ZDHC MRSL will be published.
This new version bans certain harmful chemical substances from intentional use in manufacturing facilities that process textile materials, synthetic leather, leather, and trim parts in textiles and footwear.
The ZDHC MRSL bans certain harmful chemical substances from intentional use in manufacturing facilities that process textile materials, synthetic leather, leather, and trim parts in textiles and footwear. It offers the industry a harmonized list of banned chemical substances and enables the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module, the industry’s largest list of safer alternative chemical formulations meeting the ZDHC MRSL requirement. By using MRSL conformant chemical formulations found on the ZDHC Gateway suppliers can assure their customers that they adhere to the requirements of the ZDHC MRSL, speeding up the industry’s journey on its course towards a better environmental footprint.
The main updates in this new version are:
- A restriction on all PFAS substances
- A limit for aniline in dyestuffs
- The inclusion of a number of organic solvents.
The updated ZDHC MRSL V3.0 will align with bluesign’s planned removal of all existing bluesign® APPROVED PFAS containing formulations from the bluesign® FINDER in order to restrict PFAS under REACH for all non-essential uses including in consumer products [‘Future of PFAS’ https://www.bluesign.com/en/future-of-pfas].
