Ok but which companies?
Probably all of them. The chemicals are very useful for waterproofing.
Did you read the article?
Páramo and Finisterre use no PFAS in their products, while Fjällräven, Alpkit, Lowe Alpine and Patagonia are mostly PFAS free. They and more than a dozen other firms say they will end their PFAS use next year.
Did you accidentally post this in the wrong community? There is /c/clothing@slrpnk.net for example.
I think its collapse-y as the idea that companies know full well the danger of these chemicals, yet they still sell them in their products perfectly characterizes why were in the situation we are currently.
That said I had no idea the clothing community existed and I like putting the spotlight on more niche communities so in the future I’ll post relevant stuff there instead.
