The report critiques the Regenerated Fiber Green Development Alliance's three-year roadmap for Chinese viscose producers, finding it insufficient compared to international standards like the EU BAT. It highlights ongoing pollution from alliance members and recommends adopting more rigorous auditing and emission limits.

• The Regenerated Fiber Green Development Alliance's roadmap is deemed insufficient because it does not mandate the highest production standards suggested by the Chinese government for exporters, nor does it require adherence to the European Union's Best Available Techniques (BAT) standards.
• The alliance's framework allows member companies to selectively choose between various certification standards and self-assessment tools, which critics argue lacks ambition and fails to cover critical production parameters.
• The alliance's reliance on PEFC or FSC certifications for wood pulp is considered inadequate for ensuring the protection of ancient and endangered forests, as these certifications are viewed by some NGOs as lacking credibility.
• The alliance's 'Clean Production Standards' (CPS) are less stringent than EU BAT regarding sulfur recovery and zinc emissions, and they fail to measure Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in wastewater.
