CleanChain introduces new score to drive sustainable chemistry in textile supply chain

The chemical scores are assigned by leading independent third-party providers, Scivera and ToxServices.

CleanChain, an environmental software solution provider, introduces a new feature named CleanChain Chemical Score, designed in collaboration with global brands, ZDHC and leading third-party safer chemistry solution providers Scivera and ToxServices, is fully transparent and aims to assess and rate chemicals and chemical substances to enable businesses to make more environmentally friendly choices.

CleanChain has been working closely with apparel brands and suppliers across the globe to transform sustainability practices across the textile industry by facilitating the adoption and usage of sustainable chemistry solutions. With an estimated 50% of factories’ chemical inventories currently unaccounted for, CleanChain’s Chemical Score program plays a key role in narrowing this gap.

"The role that chemical scores (Screened Chemistry) play in chemical management for both brands and suppliers cannot be overemphasized.  Our partnership with Scivera and ToxServices has been integral in bringing further transparency to the apparel industry whereby we are now able to provide both brands and suppliers with the information they need to select safer formulations." Daniel Murray, MD, CleanChain.

The chemical scores are assigned by leading independent third-party providers, Scivera and ToxServices, providing a standardised and transparent scoring methodology with full material disclosure of assessed formulations, thereby promoting the usage of safer alternatives.

"The Chemical Score feature in CleanChain illustrates the progress the apparel industry has made toward Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals." Says Joe Rinkevich, Scivera’s Founder & President.
