Partnership Initiative Wastewater starts

Today, the Partnership Initiative Wastewater starts with a planned term of two years. The Initiative continues the successfully completed Partnership Initiative Chemical and Environmental Management Despite the current challenges caused by COVID 19, 13 members of the Textiles Partnership have joined forces, including companies, associations and the Federal Government.

The common goal is to work on the establishment of a sustainable wastewater management within the textile supply chain. In the long term, this will reduce negative environmental impacts in the producing countries, lower the concentration of hazardous chemicals and prevent the use of harmful substances in textile production.
