ROADMAP TO ZERO & ZDHC CERTIFICATION

In 2019, 4tify obtained the RoadMap to Zero and Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals(ZDHC) certification of our functional chemical products that are used widely in the finishing process of clothing and fashion industry. Because 4tify wants to ensure safer products, cleaner water and fresher air that will truly benefit both people and planet, our solutions would hopefully be to help the industry transform their value chains. When it comes to using safer chemical inputs, it's important to know what the options are. That's where the 4tify ZDHC compliance comes in. 4tify supports good chemical management by helping avoid the use of banned substances during production and manufacturing. This solution facilitates the creation of end products that meet the requirements for cleaner outputs.

We believe in a world where things are made without harmful chemicals. Consumer demands can be met without depleting natural resources. Our goal is to make that happen. We connect, innovate and empower to change how products are made. 4tify implements sustainable chemistry, driving innovations and best practices in textile, apparel and footwear industries to protect consumers, workers and the environment, to protect the place we call home.

2020

Member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition

In 2020, 4tify joined TheSustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), an organization with the vision of an apparel, footwear, and textiles industry that produces no unnecessary environmental harm and has a positive impact with the The Higg Index which is a suite of tools that enables brands, retailers, and facilities of all sizes at every stage in their sustainability journey to accurately measure and score a company on the people and communities associated with its activities.

IMPACT TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY

One of the biggest retailers in the USA in 2020 has agreed to progress on adoption and implementation of using recycled and sustainable fabric and material developed by 4tify with our certified mill to produce fabric for the retail fashion product line.  The adoption will reduce contribution of annual wastage of unsustainable material of 3 million yards or an equivalent of 1,200 tons of unsustainable and non recyclable waste. As well as 3,600 tons of CO2 emission reduction equivalent by adopting the sustainable and recycled material and fabric by the retailers.

Another retailer in 2019, by using our 4tify softening solution on the finishing of their woven fabric production has contributed to the reduction of 2.0 tons of carbon dioxide emission to the environment and the 15,000 ton water saving of resources due to the saving and reduction of dyeing process in the production.

6,500 tons of water saving anticipated by consumers that bought the garment made using 4itfy solution by one of the fashion brands in the easy clean treatment finishing of the fabric for the garment making process.

13 million kilowatt energy saving for consumer and environmental sustainability using our 4tify no-ironing technology on shirts, the consumer is able to contribute by no ironing and saving 13 million kilowatt of electricity and energy saving.

We have achieved more than 90,000-ton water saving, over 90,000-ton textile waste effluents reduction as well as not less than 220,000 lb (100,000 kg) apparel wastage decrease.
