Swedish-based high-street clothing retailer H&M announced a total ban of 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 September 4.
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.
