Greenpeace’s Detox Fashion Campaign demands Commitment

Greenpeace, an environment advocacy group, has talked about its "Detox Fashion" campaign, which has got immense support from people. The campaign has challenged the production process of world's leading fashion brands.

The group has alleged that brands like Giorgio Armani, Zara, and Calvin Klein and Victoria's Secret sell products to their customers, which have toxic and tainted products. As per Greenpeace, the campaign has received support from more than 700 people in over 80 cities in as many as 20 countries.

In total, 20 brands were named in the campaign, but later they got to know that Zara also had some toxic chemicals in its products. The Greenpeace said that these chemicals are quite dangerous not only for humans but for environment also.

These chemicals have tendency to turn as cancer causing substances and it even can disrupt hormone settings. "What we would like to see from Zara is a guarantee that no toxic discharges have taken place during the manufacture of the products that Greenpeace have tested", said Martin Hojsik from the Greenpeace campaign.

There are a number of companies that have promised that they will reduce the presence of such chemical substances. Not only this, they have also assured that they will reach at zero eliminate goal. To name one such company, H&M is the one, which has committed to reach at complete eliminate rate by 2020.
