Perletti eco-policy.
Perletti has already adopted the PFCFREE policy on all its lines starting from the 2019 collection. The PFCFREE label not only means using an eco-friendly, waterproof fabric free of toxic substances, but it also demonstrates Perletti’s attention to health and the environment and its aim for a green future.
About the regulation:
The concentration of PFCs in products is governed by the current EU regulation n. 757/2010 which recently lowered the permitted limit for coated fabrics and other materials to 1 μg / m2. The european trend is to reach zero level pfcs by the end of 2020 although a definite deadline has not yet been set by the regulation.
