Swedish-based
high-street clothing retailer H&M announced a total ban of Perfluorinated
Compounds (PFCs) across its supply chain from January 1, 2013.
As of
January 1, every item produced by H&M will be PFC-free, announced the
retailer on Tuesday.
Perfluorinated
compounds are household pollutants found in the protective coatings of
packaging products, clothes, textiles, furniture, carpet, non-stick cookware,
household cleaners and cosmetics.
PFCs are
harmful to the environment and also to human health.
H&M
adds that one of its objectives is to reduce the use and impact of hazardous
chemicals in its products, in the apparel and footwear supply chain.
