In context of its international Detox campaign Greenpeace launched in October 2012 the report “Chemistry for any weather” summarizing test results for 14 outdoor clothes with focus on per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), also characterized as PFC (per- and polyfluorinated compounds).
All of these substances/substances groups are regulated in the BSSL (bluesign® system substances list) while their suppliers as well as their proper application by the textile manufacturer is covered by the bluesign® system.
