什么是大宗化学品？我们应该如何处理大宗化学品？

影响购买大宗化学品的主要因素往往是成本和即时性。因此，买家经常更换这些化学品的供应商是很常见的现象。

ZDHC对大宗化学品的定义是，具有已知化学结构和单一CAS（Chemical Abstracts Service）编号的单一物质或化合物。这些化学品通常用于制造过程中创造条件或作为辅助剂。不同厂家生产的两种大宗化学品具有相同性和互换性。它们通常不会留在最终产品上，而是在加工过程中被清洗掉了。

虽然大宗化学品包含在ZDHC MRSL（制造限制物质清单）中，但由于在ZDHC网关中参与大宗化学品行业并将这些物质纳入符合ZDHC MRSL的ZDHC网关产品数据库仍有一定挑战，所以大宗化学品被排除在Performance InCheck报告之外。

大宗化学品制造商服务于多个行业，不限于纺织、服装、皮革和鞋类，这使得在可追溯性和地图绘制方面具有挑战性。影响购买大宗化学品的主要因素往往是成本和即时性。因此，买家经常更换这些化学品的供应商是很常见的现象。

为了保证清单数据的准确性和及时性，有如下建议：

检查和更新您的化学品清单

定期检查和更新您的化学品清单，以反映任何变化或新增数据。核实所有化学品，包括大宗化学品，是否准确记录。

每月清单更新

确保化学品清单每月更新，包括期间使用的所有化学品，以确保数据的准确和即时性。

熟悉ZDHC更新指南

供应商应熟悉ZDHC大宗化学品指南ZDHC Commodity Chemical Guide。本指南概述了管理大宗化学品的最佳做法，确保它们得到负责任的评估和储存。

为什么可持续发展对供应商很重要？

随着环境问题成为人们关注的焦点，品牌、监管机构和消费者都要求供应商提高透明度，承担更大的责任。但这对服装和纺织行业的供应商意味着什么？

数据表明：

70%的品牌更喜欢拥有透明的可持续发展数据的供应商。品牌正在优先考虑那些能够提供可验证数据的供应商。如果没有透明度，供应商就有可能把业务输给已经准备好的竞争对手。

时尚供应链占全球碳排放量的10%。服装业是造成气候变化的最大因素之一。减少碳排放不再仅仅是合规性的问题，而是关于在一个可持续性是品牌和消费者的关键决策因素的市场中保持相关性。。

纺织生产占全球工业水污染的20%。纺织制造中的化学密集型工艺造成了严重的水污染。品牌越来越多地执行更严格的环境要求，这使得供应商必须改善废水管理和化学品合规性。

CleanChain如何赋能供应商？

供应商需要合适的工具来应对这些挑战并实现可持续发展目标。CleanChain简化了环境合规和可持续发展报告，帮助供应商

✅自动化合规性追踪，并确保符合ZDHC MRSL和其他法规。

✅通过实时数据洞察和性能监控减少碳和水足迹。

✅改善化学品管理，确保更安全、更可持续的生产过程。

✅通过提供经过验证的、透明的可持续发展数据，与品牌建立信任。

可持续供应链的未来

可持续性不仅仅是满足法规要求——它还关乎提高竞争优势，加强品牌关系，以及企业的未来发展。随着对可持续发展的期望不断提高，主动适应的供应商将最有利于长期成功。
