Greenpeace's Detox campaign goes after Zara
To fight textile production waste pollution, Greenpeace launched the Detox campaign last year for the fashion industry to stop polluting the environment with hazardous chemicals. But one fashion giant has yet to make a commitment, and that's Zara.
Some companies like Nike, Puma, and H+M that occasionally produce eco-fashion merchandise pledged to find ways to get rid of waste responsibly rather than tossing it in waterways and destroying public health. Zara, the world's top fashion retailer, has not joined the campaign. After some testing, Greenpeace found traces of carcinogens mostly from dyes on Zara products.
Zara, known for setting the trends, also uses sustainable fabrics like organic cotton.
