Dirty fashion: Crunch Time – Where does the industry stand on stamping out dirty viscose?

Almost three years since the first fashion brands and retailers signed up to our Roadmap towards responsible viscose and modal fibre manufacturing, this report evaluates where the global textile industry now stands in the transition towards responsible viscose. We have engaged with 100 brands and retailers, and the most prominent viscose manufactures’ and initiatives, evaluating their responsible production plans, commitments and progress on transparency. Fourteen major brands and retailers have made a public commitment to clean up their viscose supply chains and viscose manufacturers producing over 50% of global market share also have committed to better manufacturing and have started investing in closed-loop production processes in line with the Changing Markets’ Roadmap. While the frontrunners of the industry have made great headway, the report highlights that legislation is needed to unlock a sector-wide transformation.
