Chemical risk management and recycled textile materials verification solution

BAAR, Switzerland - May 5, 2026 - PRLog -- SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, is delighted to host a complimentary webinar, 'Chemical risk management & recycled textile materials verification solution', on May 14, 2026.

The rise of recycled materials in the softlines industry has been rapid, driven by heightened regulatory attention and growing consumer concern about the environmental and health impacts of restricted substances in textile supply chains. However, without rigorous chemical management, risks can still arise from the use of unknown source materials, legacy chemicals or inadequate recycling controls.

In this webinar, expert presenters Nicole Zhu and Brenda Chiu provide an overview of sustainability trends in the softlines industry. The challenges and opportunities associated with using recycled materials will be explored, and chemical management strategies will be shared to help businesses balance potential risks while remaining competitive.

The webinar will be helpful for brands, retailers and manufacturers operating in the footwear and apparel industries.

Stakeholders across the textile and apparel value chain are encouraged to register (https://event.on24.com/wcc/mr/6756961/FC736A0E82F5A97970F...) to gain practical insights into managing chemical risks, strengthening verification of recycled content and meeting evolving regulatory and market expectations.
