Better chemistry for a healthier planet
By restricting hazardous chemical input and adopting sustainable chemical management practices, clean input can be delivered in any industry.
The ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) helps industries clearly communicate, within a unified requirement, chemicals that are harmful and work on eliminating these from supply chains.
At ZDHC we believe the MRSL is the answer
From automotive to electronics, home goods to packaging, every sector that relies on chemicals has a role to play. The ZDHC MRSL offers a ready-made, globally recognised framework to phase out harmful substances at the source. It’s practical, science-based, and designed for real-world implementation. The ZDHC MRSL helps you reduce risk, stay ahead of regulation, and future-proof your business while protecting the environment.
Why start from scratch, when the solution already exists?
