The objective of the REMC handbook is to provide practical guidance to personnel of factories in the textile and leather sector who are involved in the implementation or upgradation of resource efficient management of chemicals in their respective factories. The handbook contains worksheets, handouts, presentations as well as reading materials to provide a ready reference for the different steps of implementing chemical management systems elements and good chemical management practices. 

The materials are arranged in form of training units along the seven steps of "Resource Efficient Management of Chemicals" (REMC) cycle of change and closely follow the recommended structure and content of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Chemical Management System Guidelines. The toolkit provides practical step-by-step explanations to the persons involved in the management of chemicals in such manufacturing companies on how to 

(i) set up a chemical management system; 

(ii) implement chemical risk control; or 

(iii) simply update specific aspects in the company´s existing management practices. 

With regard to the setting-up of a chemical management system, the toolbox closely refers to the Chemical Management System Guidance (CMS) Manual published by the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Foundation in September 2015. The toolkit is also meant to serve as a reference for service providers (e.g. service cells in industry associations, business intermediaries, training, advisory or audit service providers), who want to assist companies in these efforts.
