Sustainability
The impregnation is free from polyfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment and humans.
euter has completely dispensed with PFAS in production since mid-2019. This is because the effect of these chemicals, which are actually very useful, is extremely harmful to the environment. Treated products such as clothing, cookware or paper coatings release perfluorinated and polyfluorinated particles during production, use and disposal. Once they are released into the environment, they spread quickly and widely in nature through wind and water. Research has detected PFAS chemicals even in remote areas of the Himalayas and Antarctica. In soil and drinking water as well as in the blood or breast milk of humans and animals, even in the bodies of Arctic polar bears. As they are particularly long-lived and non-recoverable, they continue to accumulate. This is why they are also referred to as “eternal chemicals”.
The fact that deuter has been able to do without PFAS since mid-2019 is thanks to an environmentally friendly, biodegradable impregnation. It effectively repels water, coffee and other common liquids and is ideal for high-performance outdoor and outerwear fabrics. The new finish consists of 60% renewable raw materials from various plant-based, non-genetically modified sources. No plant-based components from food production are used. This makes deuter's alternative to PFAS compliant with the regulations of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) and is bluesign® approved.
