The Challenge

What needed solving

A group of Karachi-based tanneries exporting to European fashion brands faced increasing pressure to comply with ZDHC MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List) requirements. Their existing chemical suppliers could not provide compliant formulations, and switching suppliers risked production disruptions.

Our Solution

How we delivered

INTERACT Chemical Solutions conducted a full chemical audit across all 8 tanneries, identified non-compliant substances, and sourced ZDHC-approved alternatives from our supplier network. We provided on-site technical support during the transition, trained tannery chemists on new formulations, and established a regular supply schedule to prevent stockouts.
