Global Textile Ministerial and Industry Summit 2026

Kryssian Romeiro (Hohenstein Brazil) is speaking at the Global Textile Ministerial and Industry Summit for a more circular economy.

Tues | Jun 16 | Chemicals & Production Standards

Chemistry is the connective tissue between EPR, Sustainable by Design, and Digital Product Passports. This session frames chemical management as infrastructure for broader circularity — not a siloed technical domain.

Key Themes:

• Chemicals of concern in textiles — harmonizing international standards (ZDHC MRSL, AFIRM RSL, REACH)
• Microfiber pollution, microplastics, and wastewater controls across the value chain
• Alignment with the Global Framework on Chemicals (GFC) — UNEP-led
• How harmonized chemical standards become the data backbone for Digital Product Passports
• Chemical screening and safer chemistry pathways for LATAM manufacturers
