As part of Greenpeace’s global “Detox” campaign, more than 700 people, in over 80 cities, in 20 countries around the world protested, staged street theatre and conducted “mannequin” walk-outs to demand ZARA commit to eliminating the use of all hazardous chemicals throughout its supply chain. The participants, from Bangkok to Buenas Aires, also called on ZARA store managers to forward Greenpeace’s Detox demands to their headquarters, after new research found traces of hazardous chemicals in ZARA clothing items, some of which can break down in the environment to become hormone-disrupting or even cancer-causing substances.
