SGS joins Fashion for Good’s PFAS-free water-repellent apparel benchmarking project DW(O)R-X

• SGS joined Project DW(O)R-X, an apparel-industry collaboration to benchmark durable water- and oil-repellent finishes that avoid intentionally added PFAS.
• The initiative targets a lack of comparable, real-world performance data for PFAS-free alternatives amid tightening regulation and shifting consumer demand.
• SGS will test fabrics treated with 10 PFAS-free solutions using multi-condition protocols designed to better reflect sportswear and outerwear use.
• Results are intended to create a common reference point for brands and mills, support supplier performance claims, and reduce substitution risk.
• The work was positioned within SGS’s IMPACT NOW sustainability program, which spans climate, circularity, nature, and environmental and social governance assurance.
