To achieve a stable and conforming product the responsible management of chemicals is a critical element of sustainable business practice. Compliance with brand restricted chemical requirements is now an essential part of material manufacturing and product supply. In addition, brands and retailers are increasingly concerned about the upstream chemical inputs into materials, and how they impact people and the environment.
Chemical failures in materials and components can have a negative impact on business both in the form of direct cost of recalled product, plus the additional resource required for corrective action. In addition, depending on the type and impact of failure, there is also a potential damage to brand reputation and value.
