STOCKHOLM - H&M Group has put a global ban on the use of Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) across its supply chain from 1 January 2013, which means that all orders placed this date or later will be produced without PFCs. The move is an interesting one from H&M given that in the past it has sold water repellent fabrics, but has not focussed on stain repellant clothing or high performance rainwear.
