Managing chemical inputs is key to safer products, cleaner water and fresher air. The Input Focus Area is the cornerstone of the work we do.
Good procedures and best practices are vital to reduce the environmental impact of production. This Focus Area helps organisations to put these elements in place.
Outputs prove the effectiveness of safer inputs and processes. It does so by measuring indicators like wastewater, sludge and air quality.

The ZDHC Gateway - Wastewater Module saves time and supports transparency throughout the value chain. Through our Wastewater Module, supplier facilities can test their wastewater once and share the results simultaneously with all of their clients.
To achieve wastewater test results that conform to ZDHC standards, all actors in the value chain have to work together. We created the ZDHC Gateway - Wastewater Module to facilitate this process systematically.
ZDHC Accepted Laboratories, test suppliers wastewater based on the ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines and upload wastewater test results on behalf of the suppliers on the Gateway. Suppliers can indicate their industry sector, processed materials and process types in their Supplier Profile and activate a specific ZDHC Wastewater Guideline (ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines V1.1, ZDHC Leather Wastewater Guidelines Addendum, and ZDHC MMCF Interim Wastewater Guidelines). The Gateway assesses the reported test values based on the applicable Wastewater Guideline set up for the specific supplier.
After the results are reviewed by the supplier, the suppliers can publish their results and the corresponding ClearStream report on the Gateway to make them available for the brands they are connected with.
Brands are then able to download the results once they are connected with the Suppliers and use the data for their supply chain mapping or impact reporting.
Ask your supply chain partner to invite you to the ZDHC Gateway and send you a registration link.
Contact our Customer Support Team to invite you to the ZDHC Gateway.
Please note that we will require information about your organisation in order to verify its eligibility for the platform before a registration link is sent.
