Chem-MAP® is a new, innovative process for verifying MRSL compliance of supplied chemical formulations to ZDHC conformance level 1 and level 3.
Chem-MAP® has been developed by BLC Leather Technology Centre Ltd. in partnership with Peter Gregory from Vert-Tex and works through a preventative approach which ensures that materials and products are made using responsible chemistry. To achieve this, Chem-MAP® works with all organisations in the supply chain including chemical companies, manufacturers, brands and retailers.
How does the BLC Chem-MAP® Programme engage the materials supply chain?
The BLC Chem-MAP® Programme is split into four divisions:
Chem-MAP for chemical companies to gain ZDHC approved certification.
Become a ZDHC level 1, 2 or 3 approved chemical supplier through the completion of Chem-MAP® audit and testing modules on the Chemical Manufacturers route. Chem-MAP supports verification of chemicals for manufacture and production on the ZDHC Gateway.
Manufacturers of materials to become Chem-MAP® approved
Join the Chem-MAP® programme as a supplier of materials or products. Become a Chem-MAP® Guardian through online training modules, chemical inventory management and chemical management audits on the Chem-MAP Manufacturers fo Materials and Products route.
Brands & retailers to become Chem-MAP® engaged
Brands and retailers can engage with the Chem-MAP® programme to support chemical management objectives. This route provides education, guidance and policy advice in addition to supply chain management support.
MRSL testing for brands, retailers, manufacturers and suppliers
