SAN FRANCISCO - Denim brand Levi Strauss & Co has linked up with testing and research company Hohenstein in a bid to ensure the use of safer chemicals in its supply chain.
The collaboration involves the use of the Eco Passport by Oeko-Tex independent testing and certification system for chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used in textile manufacturing.
It aims to enhance Levi's 'Screened Chemistry' programme to establish the use of safer chemistry in the apparel industry by providing enhanced levels of testing, verification and transparency.
