Swedish Textile Water Initiative (STWI) started in 2010 as a joint project between Swedish textile and leather retail companies and Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). The project focuses on water in the supply chains of textile and leather retailers aiming to contribute to wiser water management from thread and raw hide product.
STWI has developed and published guidelines for sustainable water and chemical use in the textile and leather supply chains. The guidelines implementation is steadily increasing. Read more about STWI here.
