After running a successful six-month pilot, the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemical (ZDHC) Foundation has announced the soft launch of ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module, which makes information on sustainable chemistry broadly available and is an online search tool that will help chemical buyers to choose safer options available in the market.
The product rating in the ZDHC Gateway Chemical Module is based on third-party product accreditation standards which show to which level (levels ranging from 0 to 3) a chemical product conforms to the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL). A high level rating of conformance based on ZDHC’s MRSL Conformance Guidance indicates a high level confidence that the chemical formulation conforms to the ZDHC MRSL.

“We’re really excited about the launch of this tool that will be invaluable in providing clear, easily-accessible information on whether a chemical conforms to the ZDHC MRSL,” said ZDHC Executive Director Frank Michel, adding, “For this next exciting phase, we’re calling on the ZDHC Contributor Community to engage their relevant value chain partners.”
