overview

The ZDHC MRSL V3.1 saw a number of solvents added to the main list. Whilst we do not condone the use of these solvents, we recognise that it is not possible for the textile and footwear value chains to move away from some of these solvents overnight and there is a need for a transition period whilst the industry moves towards available safer alternatives.. Through this transitional period, it is important that any use of these banned solvents adheres to responsible practices, prioritising worker health and safety, and the reduction of environmental impact. This Guide supports the industry in the transitional phase on approaches to finding safer alternatives and for best practices in managing the solvents responsibly at a facility, if used.
