THE DETOX CATWALK

THE DETOX CATWALKIT’S TIME TO FIND OUT WHICH CLOTHING COMPANIES ARE ON THE PATH TO DELIVERING TOXIC-FREE FASHION.


Over the past three years, hundreds of thousands of activists, fashionistas, bloggers and consumers came together to call for fashion without pollution. From record-breaking strip teases to social media storms, people power brought about Detox commitments from 18 major fashion companies. Take a look down the runway at the story so far.

Now we are able to see who is delivering on their commitments, and who is holding us back with nothing more than ineffective paper commitments and greenwashed promises.

Explore the Detox Catwalk to find out which companies are leading a transparency revolution across their supply chains, which have gone above and beyond to eliminate hazardous chemicals from their clothes and which companies are trying to get away with doing the bare minimum.

Detox Leaders - Detox committed companies leading the industry towards a toxic-free future with credible timelines, concrete actions and on-the-ground implementation.

Greenwashers – Detox committed companies that are so far failing to walk the talk and take individual corporate responsibility for their hazardous chemical pollution

Detox Losers – Uncommitted toxic addicts that refuse to take responsibility for their toxic trail and have yet to make a credible, individual Detox commitment.

If you want to find out more about the credible individual Detox solution and the Catwalk criteria, visit the Detox Catwalk Criteria page.

The Detox Catwalk only focuses on the fashion apparel brands that have committed to Detox. Greenpeace will continue assessing all the Detox committed companies, including those in other sectors, in the future.

TOXIC FREE FASHION BY 2020

In order to bring about a toxic-free future we call on companies to adopt and implement an individual Detox solution, committing to eliminate the use and release of all hazardous chemicals from their global supply chain and products by
1 January 2020.

This should be based on three fundamental principles:

  • 1. Prevention and Precaution
    Taking precautionary action towards the elimination of hazardous chemicals in the face of scientific uncertainty.
  • 2. Right to know
    Acting with transparency on behalf of communities living by the discharge pipes and consumers who all have a right to know about the hazardous chemicals being released into our waterways.
  • 3. Elimination
    Eliminating all releases of toxic chemicals and recognising that there are no environmentally safe levels for hazardous substances.
