subject: Who Is Responsible For Water Pollution [print this page] Lining, Nike, and Adidas jointly made pollutions. Three magnates, Lining, Nike, Adidas, have invariably competed with each other intensely, but lately, they were in the same trousers, being criticized jointly polluting the river.
Recently, a international environmental organization issued a report and claimed that Lining, Nike, Adidas etc., these global top fashion suppliers all exist pollution behaviors. These Adidas F50 Adizero poisonous substance with industrial waste water was discharged straight into China's rivers, which caused serious threat both to ecological system and human health. For this matter, Lining Co Ltd didn't have direct comment, while Nike Co Ltd denied it.
This environmental group lately released "Poisonous Fashion, China Water Pollution Survey of International Clothing Brands" and declared that their investigators found alky phenol from the waste water samples of a company in Pear River Delta under secretly investigation, and this company is a supplier of Lining sports brand. In the waste water samples of Younger Textile Industrial City, they also checked out PFOA and phenol alkyl, and this industrial city is the location for suppliers of famous brands Nike and Adidas. These chemicals have bad influences for human health.
This environmental group declared that investigators checked out various hazardous and noxious substances in the industrial waste water discharged by factories situated in Yangtze River and Pearl River valleys through more than a years' publicly and privately investigation. This has relation to many manufacturing enterprises of textile, and unexpectedly behind their supply chains are dozens of national and international top fashion brands.
The report of this environmental organization said that "wet process" technology of textile manufacturing procedure, including, dyeing, cleaning, printing and textile finishing, produced a considerable amount of waste water containing poisonous and harmful materials. Nevertheless, the report also claimed brands, like Nike ever expressed to the Green Peace Organization that their products never had "wet process" in Younger Textile Industrial City.
After 8 times linking up, responsible servicer of Lining Beijing enterprise supplier missed the phone calls all the time, and finally via the front desk said that the accounting of this incident will be explained to general public on the website, concerning time, it was not revealed. But, Mr. Chen from its supplier's executive branch signified that we knew this report issued by this environmental organization a month ago. Both of them once communicated with each other and they sent Emails, but they didn't reveal the core details, therefore the communication didn't have solutions. The most important thing is what they said is not scientific. Both sampling and testing have a set of reasonable and scientific practice. It is quite simple that a dozen of factories all drain there. How should they say we polluted, besides we are a business acquired four-star environmental credentials.
Nike replied that as far as we know Nike group didn't cause water pollution in Yangtze River Delta through the contract plant. Nike declared that being cooperated with two Younger groups , they don't have chemical manufacturing procedure only involving cutting and sewing. Therefore, they merely discharge everyday life waste water into waste water treatment plant.
