As part of the Greenpeace Detox campaign, activists take part in a 'Global Week of Action' to highlight the continued use of dangerous PFC chemicals by top outdoor clothing and equipment brands. Activists are calling on outdoor brands to eliminate all PFCs and switch to toxic-free production. A new Greenpeace report “Leaving Traces” reveals that hazardous and persistent chemicals, dangerous to human health and the environment, have been found in the products of leading outdoor brands such as The North Face, Patagonia, Mammut, Columbia and Haglofs. The companies continue to use PFCs (poly- and per-fluorinated compounds) to make their gear waterproof, despite their claims of sustainability and love for nature.
