Water issues: global brands, Chinese pollution
Water Wednesday: Greenpeace challenges apparel industry to come clean | SmartPlanet
Chinese manufacturers produce 'parts' for many well-known brands.
Adidas, Nike & PUMA are part of GreenPeace new DeTox campaign.
they want these brands to develop chemical & water management strategies. PUMA published a strategy statement & pledged to have more details within approx two-months.
Greenpeace has a new report, 'Dirty Laundry', which points to two Chinese facilities which discharge
hormone-disrupting chemicals into Chinese rivers. Other brands linked in some way include:
Abercrombie & Fitch, Bauer Hockey, Calvin Klein, Converse, Cortefiel, H&M, Lacoste, & Phillips-Van Heusen.
