Why disclosure?

Thousands of chemicals and dyes are used to turn raw materials into our clothes. There currently isn’t enough transparency or understanding of all of the different chemicals and chemical formulations that are being used, nor their impacts on human and environmental health.  Regulation  like Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals  (REACH) in the European Union is designed to help identify more of the chemicals and chemical formulations that are being used by the industry.  We need similar disclosure here in the US, but since our national government is failing to protect workers and the public, we need to demand transparency directly from companies.
