ADDIS ABABA – With the support of the German government and leading chemicals supplier Dow, the ZDHC Foundation is embarking on a two-and-a-half year project in Ethiopia centred on sharing knowledge and raising awareness of the industry impact of textile chemistry.
Marking ZDHC’s first workings of this kind in Sub Saharan Africa, the project has been incepted with the idea of equipping Ethiopian stakeholders, including students, with the understanding necessary to thrive in the current climate, which centres on sustainable practices.
Ethiopia, in this case, has been selected having experienced exponential growth over the past five to six years, with the country’s government backing ambitious plans to mobilise its textile industry to become a frontrunner in Africa.
