¿Que crees que significa este listado? ¿Tamaño de la empresa, países donde operan, volumen de negocio?
Es el ranking de empresas por numero de prendas testadas que contienen químicos cancerígenos y contaminantes que dañan la salud de la persona bien sea directamente por su uso o indirectamente a través de la contaminación medioambiental.
La revista Londinense Business of Fashion publicó un artículo escrito por Tommy Crawford, strategic communications manager por Greenpeace. Su publicación coincidió con la publicación del informe Toxic Threads: The Big Fashion Stitch-Up, realizado por la organización Greenpeace International.
La investigación presentada en el informe muestra la contaminación producido por la industria textil. Ofrece un estudia interesante donde seleccionan prendas de grandes marcas mundiales y miden la cantidad de químicos nocivos encontrados en cada prenda. Nos muestra los resultados por número de prendas total de la marca donde se han encontrado estos químicos y también mide el número de químicos diferentes encontrados en cada prenda.
Big Brand- Big Impact
El artículo nos habla también de la campaña Detox de Greenpeace. Es una iniciativa de la ONG en el que señalan las grandes firmas de
moda mundial con la intención de promover que estas empresas sean comprometidas
con la eliminación de químicos nocivos en la fabricación de sus prendas. Si la grandes empresas, por su tamaño y volumen,
cambian sus prácticas el resultado será notablemente visible.
¿Te gustan estas prendas? ¿Tienes algo parecido en tu
armario?
Son algunas de las prendas testadas.

What is this ranking? Company size, number of countries where they operate, business volume?
This is actually a company ranking by the number of clothing items of those tested found to have high levels of toxic phthalates, cancer-causing amines, and NPEs. These are harmful chemical that jeopardize our health either by direct use and/or indirectly through environmental contamination.

The online London Fashion
Newspaper, Business of Fashion, published an article written by Tommy
Crawford, strategic communications manager at Greenpeace, whose publication
coincided with the release by Greenpeace International of the report
The report shows the contamination that is produced by the textile industry.
In their study they selected pieces of clothing from many popular international
fashion brands and analyzed the quantity of harmful chemicals found in each
garment. The results show the total number of garments that had traces of these
chemicals, and also show the number of different harmful chemicals found in
each garment.
Big Brand- Big Impact
The article also talks about Greenpeace´s Detox campaign. The objective of the campaign is that major fashion brands eliminate the negative environmental impacts of their production. They look for a commitment from the brand to work towards this goal. Why target these large companies? As global players, these fashion brands have the opportunity to work on global solutions to eliminate the use of hazardous substances throughout their product lines, and to drive a change in practices throughout their supply chains.
The tactics used by Greenpeace
Greenpeace uses the media and the tries to stir-up a negative public opinion to force companies to negotiate. As they state in the report “Last year, the campaign mobilized millions of citizens around the world to challenge major clothing brands and demand that they create fashion without toxic pollution. Through hard-fought negotiations and people-powered actions — including the world’s biggest simultaneous striptease in July last year — the campaign has secured commitments from seven international brands to clean up their supply chains and become toxic-free by 2020."photos of a protest by Greenpeace, Zara in Madrid el 21.11.2012 |
Whether or not we agree with their tactics, it is undeniable that Greenpeace is able to capt our attention.
