EU Bans 'Forever Chemical' Used in Stain-Resistant Clothing

Original: EU Bans a ‘Forever Chemical’ Often Used To Make Garments Stain-Resistant

The European Union has banned a so-called forever chemical widely used to make garments stain-resistant, according to industry outlet WWD. The move is part of tightening EU regulation of PFAS substances, which persist in the environment and are linked to health concerns, and will force fashion and textile brands to rethink water- and stain-repellent finishes.

Why now: The EU's new restrictions on PFAS chemicals will directly affect textile and fashion manufacturers' supply chains.
