VOC Emissions: Impacts, Compliance, and Solutions for Cleaner Air
Join us for a comprehensive webinar on the evolving regulatory landscape of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), exploring the industries most impacted and strategies for compliance with VOC testing.
We’ll discuss the significant impact VOCs have on human health and the environment, and why regulating them is critical. We will identify gaps in current VOC testing solutions and explore ways to potentially improve them. As part of this session, we will also take you through the latest updates to ZDHC’s Air Emission Guidelines (August 2024) and discuss its implications for the textile, apparel, and footwear industries. Finally, we will introduce our CleanAir Check for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Testing service, designed to help you calculate 100% PTE VOCs based on your chemical inventory and measure actual VOC emissions at various production stages.
This webinar will provide you with the insights and resources needed to manage the challenges of VOC testing and regulation, helping you achieve compliance while minimising your impacts on human health and the environment.
