Myanmar is already host to over 60 footwear factories producing for European, Japanese and US markets, as well as some vertically integrated textile mills and a rapidly growing number of garment washing and printing facilities.
‘Smart Textile & Garments’, until recently known as ‘Smart Myanmar’, was first developed in 2017 with support from the German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles and GIZ. Key topics addressed include conformance with zero discharge of hazardous chemicals recommendations and Globally Harmonized System chemical labelling requirements.
