Amwear USA, Inc. Brands (Tact Squad and United Uniform Mfg) is proud to announce a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability.
Effective January 15, 2024, all of our forthcoming products will be devoid of per- and Polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). Our aim is to ensure that our new inventory is PFAS-free by the Fall 2024.
In conjunction with this pledge, we are pioneering advancements in waterproof materials and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatments to comply with evolving PFAS regulations. PFAS compounds, known as “forever chemicals,” possess exceptional resistance to heat, water, and oil, making them prevalent in various consumer products and industrial applications such as food packaging, clothing, fire-fighting foams, and upholstery. This resistance, stemming from their exceptionally stable chemical structure, impedes conventional degradation processes.
