Status Quo Analysis - Textile Sector
This status quo analysis reports the current state of chemical traceability in the textile and carpet industries, revealing a complex interplay between stakeholders, regulatory frameworks, and market dynamics. Current gaps in REACH registrations and information requirements highlight the need for more comprehensive solutions. What is more, the evident disparities between large corporations and SMEs emerge as a significant challenge. The analysis culminates in the identification of five fundamental dimensions for successful implementation of chemical traceability: 1. systemic approach, 2. training and capacity building, 3. technology adoption, 4. policy frameworks, 5. market dynamics.
3. Analysis of Incentives and Impediments in Chemical Traceability
The chapter assesses market dynamics and presents a structured evaluation of drivers and barriers that affect chemical traceability implementation.
