Commercial Clothing Was Once Again Detected Toxic And Harmful Substances.

< p > recently, the latest report of Greenpeace of the international environmental protection organization, "Tong Liu He pollution - global brand children's clothing toxic and hazardous substances residue survey" (hereinafter referred to as the "residual report"), pointed out that Adidas (Adidas), Boboli (Burberry), Disney (Disney) and other 12 well-known brands of children's clothing were all detected toxic and harmful substances.

< /p >

< p > the report said that more than 1/3 of the samples were produced in China, and the detection rate of toxic and harmful substances was as high as 96.6%.

Greenpeace requires these brands to immediately eliminate toxic and harmful substances that are used and discharged in their supply chain.

< p > < strong > loopholes in printing and dyeing < /strong > < /p >

< p > it is reported that during the period from May 2013 to June, Greenpeace purchased 82 children and infants from 25 countries and regions in the world: < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > dress < /a > samples including 12 famous brands, such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, Disney, H& M, UNIQLO, etc. all samples were sent to the third independent laboratories which had been certified for analysis and detection.

< /p >

< p > results showed that all brands detected toxic and harmful substances.

Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) was detected in 61% of the samples.

94.3% of the samples of plastic (10705, -60.00, -0.56%) sol printing were containing o-benzoic acid two formic acid, and all the children's garments with waterproof function and a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > shoes > /a > products were all detected perfluorinated compounds (PFCs).

< /p >

< p > it is understood that o-phthalate two has reproductive toxicity, which may affect the development of reproductive organs. It is related to the reduction of sperm count and infertility. It can enter the human body through hand and mouth contact, especially for children and pregnant women.

< /p >

< p > industry experts say that nonylphenol (NP) is a chemical substance added to the production process, which is harmful to human reproductive health.

Although the substance on clothing can be washed away by water, it will continue to affect the environment and become a health risk factor after entering the water body.

< /p >

< p > it is reported that green peace has released similar test data before.

In 2012, the organization organized a so-called "toxic fashion show" to raise people's awareness, especially in Beijing, China. It attracted people's attention to 2/3 of their finished products containing toxic substances.

The organization has promoted the goal of zero emissions of clothing products to roughly hazardous substances in 2020.

< /p >

< p > in fact, in recent years, environmental protection organizations have been calling for the ban of NPE, o-phthalate two formic acid and other substances in < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < /a > but at present, the domestic garment industry has been very difficult to land.

< /p >

< p > "NPE and o-phthalate two are mainly found in printing and dyeing."

A garment industry expert said that for many industries such as China a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile "/a", many dyes are still hard to get rid of. On the one hand, the cost of using alternative dyes is high, and on the other hand, the alternative dyes are relatively few.

"Not only China, but actually Southeast Asia and other countries have not banned NPE in the clothing industry," he said.

< /p >

< p > in addition, some analysts pointed out that trade barriers may also be involved.

"In fact, it may not be harmful to that extent, for example, Sudan is harmful to human body, but it may be harmful to the body to eat a large amount of egg yolk containing Sudan every day."

< /p >

< p > there are environmentalists calling for the government to formulate relevant regulations and policies with strict standards and publish a blacklist and elimination schedule for toxic and harmful substances as soon as possible.

At the same time, Burberry, Adidas and other brands are required to make non-toxic commitment as soon as possible, effectively eliminate toxic and harmful substances, and publicly use and discharge information, and receive public supervision to prevent further accumulation of toxic and harmful substances in rivers, threatening the environment and human health.

< /p >

< p > < strong > Adidas's "drug addiction" < /strong > /p >

< p > it is worth noting that some of the leading brands of the products were also detected toxic residues in the test.

For example, H&M's trousers contain high concentrations of ionic and volatile perfluorinated compounds; Uniqlo's waterproof jacket contains volatile perfluorinated compounds; C&A's children's shoes contain high concentrations of NPE; Puma's sneakers are detected with high concentrations of organotin.

< /p >

< p > in fact, up to now, 18 well-known enterprises have undertaken to achieve the goal of zero emissions of toxic and hazardous substances by January 2020.

Many brands, such as Mango and Zara, have begun to publish information about their suppliers' toxic and hazardous substances. But there are also brands like Adidas making promises without any substantive actions, lacking practical and detailed plans, and refusing to disclose to consumers the information of their suppliers' emissions of toxic and harmful substances.

< /p >

< p > however, Adidas and other brands were not the first to be listed in this toxic brand.

< /p >

< p > > released in August 2011, "the poison of fashion 2: poison is hidden in clothes." in the survey of toxic and harmful substances in brand clothing "/a > >" a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/", "Greenpeace" said, the survey found that Adidas, Lining and other international famous brands of clothing and shoes used NPE in the production process.

< /p >

< p > in the test after a year, Adidas is on the list again.

In August 2012, the Greenpeace test report continued to show that Adidas and other 14 sportswear brands had substances such as perfluorinated compounds (PFC), which are harmful to health and environment.

< /p >

After the exposure, Adidas quickly clarified and said that it was better than singing. Adidas, in its public statement, promised the public that it would eliminate all the toxic and harmful substances in its supply chain and products by 2020 and would take immediate action to eliminate environmental hormone NPE (nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether). P

< /p >

Less than P, but after a year, the brand of "innocuous future" has been slapped in the face.

Some experts believe that "effective and credible corporate commitment to poison should aim at gradually realizing zero emissions of toxic substances in 2020" and include the following elements: core principles, information disclosure and overall elimination.

In the core principles, enterprises should clearly define the precautionary principle, zero emissions of hazardous substances, the responsibility of individual enterprises and the public's right to know in detail.

< /p >

< p > some experts pointed out that using green environmental dyes to replace the old varieties with high toxicity is the only way for the clothing industry to "ban drugs".

According to reports, at present, chemical manufacturers can provide safer alternatives, and their cost can be kept equal to toxic chemical supplies.

Therefore, it is hoped that Adidas and other manufacturers will be able to use safer alternatives.
