Puma (Puma), the German sportswear enterprise, has developed an action plan to eliminate chemicals in its products and set up a milestone to realize the full pparency of the supply chain.

This action is part of its commitment to the green peace organization's initiative to eliminate 100% of all perfluorocarbon compounds (PFCs) from products before the end of 2017.

PFCs is used in clothing and footwear manufacturing processes to maintain their antifouling and water repellency.

However, once released into the environment, these chemicals are known to accumulate in the environment and may affect human health. Some of these substances will damage the immune and reproductive systems and lead to certain diseases such as thyroid diseases.

Detox launched the detoxification campaign launched in 2011. The environmental pressure group Greenpeace has constantly appealed to international clothing brands to remove harmful chemicals from their supply chains and products before 2020.

"Puma's statement said that the company is seriously implementing its commitment to detoxification.

A detailed action plan for phasing out dangerous chemicals and public emissions data is another major step towards non-toxic and no future. "

Manfred Santen, Germany's Greenpeace initiative, says Detox.

Puma also promised to publish its global 80% suppliers' emission data by the end of 2014.

Greenpeace points out that Puma's commitment exceeds Adidas. The products promised by June (2014) in June reached 99% without PFCs, while the progress of Nike was far behind, and there was no plan to eliminate harmful chemicals before 2020.

"Puma is worthy of its" forever ahead "corporate slogan, once again leading in the sports apparel industry.

Now how can Nike and Lining fulfill their commitment to consumers? "

Santen says.
