Tesco, one of the world's biggest retailers, has committed to Detox. The UK-based company will release a complete list of suppliers and will immediately begin the process of eliminating hazardous chemicals from the supply chain of its garment brand F&F, sold in 2,300 stores in 23 countries.

The commitment coincides with the release of Greenpeace's report "How seriously are retailers taking responsible fashion?", the second assessment on how far retailers have implemented tools and actions to eliminate hazardous chemicals.

Does shopping make you happy? A new survey of international buying habits, comissioned by Greenpeace, has found that we buy far more than we need and use. Two-thirds of Hong Kong residents admit they own more than they need. The same is true for 60% of Chinese and over half of German and Italian respondents. But the mindless overconsumption of fashion has become our cultural norm. Read more...

Gore Fabrics, the maker of GORE-TEX® products and a major supplier of membranes and coatings to outdoor brands like The North Face and Mammut, has committed to eliminate hazardous PFCs from their product lines!

On Black Friday, the day that has come to symbolise consumerism, Greenpeace published Timeout for Fast Fashion, a report that examines our throwaway lifestyle and the impact that it has on the environment.

Fast, cheap fashion has changed the way we dress; it has also changed the way we think about clothes and what we do with them. We buy more clothes than ever before, we wear them fewer times and treat them as disposable items. The fast fashion business model is pushing at the boundaries of the Earth's capacity to absorb greenhouse gases, hazardous chemicals, and clothes waste as well as depleting resources such as water and land. On any level, this cannot be sustained. Read more...

Greenpeace published PFC Pollution Hotspots, a report identifying four pollution hotspots around the globe where chemical companies producing per - and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) have contaminated the environment and are raising concerns on the consequences among residents living in surrounding areas.

In the USA and Europe, pollution problems have been building up since as long ago as the 1950's, when PFC production started, dominated by the production of the PFCs PFOS and PFOA - now known to be highly persistent and toxic. Read more...

Greenpeace releases Hidden in Plain Sight, an investigation that found hazardous poly-fluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in the indoor air of stores selling outdoor gear in Europe and East Asia. Samples were taken in the flagship stores of the brands Mammut, The North Face, Norrona and Haglöfs and in non-branded outdoor stores. The results show that concentrations of PFCs in the air in outdoor stores in Europe were 20 to 60 times higher than air samples collected in Greenpeace's office and storage rooms in Hamburg and up to 1000 times higher than urban outdoor air; concentrations of PFCs in outdoor stores in Taiwan were in the same range as those in Europe.

Greenpeace releases Leaving Traces - The Hidden Hazardous Chemicals in Outdoor Gear. In this latest investigation we tested a range of outdoor gear for hazardous per- and polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs). The study reveals that not only outdoor clothing and footwear but also camping and hiking equipment such as backpacks, tents and sleeping bags contain chemicals that are hazardous to the environment and to human health.

The study shows that chemicals that are known to be hazardous, among them substances of very high concern such as PFOA and other long chain ionic PFCs, are still being widely used for products sold by outdoor brands. Read more...

Greenpeace releases Footprints in the Snow, a report drawing attention to a little-known and certainly unsolved problem: the global presence of invisible but very persistent and hazardous chemicals in our environment.

PFCs are used in many industrial processes and consumer products. The outdoor industry is an important user, since it applies PFCs to make products waterproof and dirt-repellent. Take action now!

In May and June, eight Greenpeace teams went to famous remote areas across three continents to collect water and snow samples and test them for PFCs, the hazardous chemicals used to make outdoor gear waterproof. The expeditions took place far and wide: from China's Haba Snow Mountains to Switzerland's Alps; from the Italian Apennines to the High Tatras Mountains in Slovakia; from the Golden Mountains of Altai in Russia to the stunning Patagonian mountains of Torres del Paine, and from Treriksroset in Northern Europe to Kaçkar Mountains of Turkey.

PFCs are already found deep in the ocean, on mountain tops, and in nearly all living creatures. Once released into the environment during industrial production, PFCs persist for millions of years and future generations will continue to be exposed via contaminated water, air and food. Read more...

While there is still a lot more to do, this piece of legislation represents a huge step in the right direction for Taiwan's pathway towards a toxic-free future.

Greenpeace International launches the Detox Catwalk, an interactive platform assessing the progress made by companies towards their Detox commitments. Adidas, Nike and Li-NIng are revealed as Greenwashers, failing to effectively follow through on their Detox commitments. However, Leaders like H&M, Mango and Uniqlo proved themselves to be Detox trendsetters, matching their fashion-forward promises with real actions to clean up their supply chains. Read more...

Valentino proves 'Green' really is the new 'Black', as the rapid shift toward toxic-free fashion gains further momentum with the Italian Fashion house proving unequivocally that fashion free from pollution is not a luxury, but a must-have.

Valentino becomes the 16th international company to make a credible Detox commitment and tops a ranking of 15 Italian and French Luxury brands based on their policies regarding hazardous chemicals, leather and pulp and paper. Other big names including Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada fail to make the grade.

If Valentino can do it, why can't the rest? Read more...

We decided enough was enough. The world needed to see the environmental destruction that was being caused in the name of "fashion". And who better to bear witness to the crime than a bunch of second-hand mannequins who's CVs included wearing the same type of clothes that are being manufactured inside the facilities responsible for this pollution? Read more...

Around the world a growing movement of activists, fashionistas, designers and public figures are demanding that the textile industry, a major polluter, stop poisoning our waterways with toxic chemicals, and start making fashion without pollution. Gael Garcia Bernal is wearing a specially commissioned t-shirt created by Brazilian designer and entrepreneur Oskar Metsavaht, bearing the message "Detox our future, Clean our water".

Water is considered sacred in Mexican culture, yet it is under threat from many environmental pressures, including pollution to such an extent that people suffer from water scarcity. More than 70% of freshwater resources in Mexico are affected by pollution from all sources, and concerns about health effects from water pollution have led to conflicts in several parts of the country.

Hong Kong-based Esprit and Spanish fashion brand, Mango, have committed to eliminate all releases of hazardous chemicals throughout their entire supply chains and products by 2020. Their announcements come days after Greenpeace launched its report "Toxic Threads: Putting Pollution on Parade" in Beijing, which exposes how some facilities in China are exploiting complex wastewater systems to prevent scrutiny of their manufacturing processes. Both brands commit to making their facilities disclose water discharge information - a victory for people living forced to share their water with industry.

How textile manufacturers are hiding their toxic trail. A new investigation by Greenpeace International has found a wide range of hazardous substances in the effluent of communal wastewater treatment plants from two industrial zones in China, as well as in a nearby river after a pollution accident. Read more...

As part of Greenpeace's global "Detox" campaign, more than 700 people, in over 80 cities, in 20 countries around the world protested, staged street theatre and conducted "mannequin" walk-outs to demand ZARA commit to eliminating the use of all hazardous chemicals throughout its supply chain.

Greenpeace International commissioned a new investigation that delved even further into the hazardous chemicals used in the production of high street fashion. Spurred on by the success of Greenpeace's Detox Campaign, which exposed the links between textile manufacturing facilities using toxic chemicals and water pollution, the investigation was expanded to include 20 global fashion brands - including Armani, Levi's and Zara - as well as more hazardous chemicals.

H&M gets rebranded by Greenpeace activists and supporters in twelve countries, including China, France, Germany and Sweden. See how we pasted massive "DETOX our water" and "DETOX the future" stickers onto local H&M shop windows!

Just nine weeks into the Detox challenge, and already Adidas, Nike and Puma, the world's three biggest sportswear brands, have made transformational commitments to eliminate discharges of hazardous chemicals across all their product lifecycles by 2020.

Yet H&M, the largest clothing company in our Dirty Laundry and Dirty Laundry 2 reports, hasn't come clean about its closeted links to water-polluting suppliers in China. Time to make H&M fashion-forward and toxic-free!

Greenpeace follows up the Dirty Laundry report with new research that reveals how major clothing brands use nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), which subsequently break down to form toxic substances, in their manufacturing cycle.

There's a good chance that the clothes you're wearing contain NPEs, which will break down in water to form nonylphenol (NP) - a toxic, persistent and hormone-disrupting chemical. Have a look at clothing and the global toxic cycle:

Will Adidas break the toxic chain and join Nike and Puma as champions of a toxic-free future?

Greenpeace activists and supporters in cities around the world give Adidas an extra push by rebranding its shop windows and doors with huge 'Detox' stickers #PeoplePower

You scored again! Nike joins Puma and accepts our Detox challenge, pledging to phase out all hazardous chemicals across its entire supply chain, and the entire lifecycle of its products by 2020. Will Adidas also step up to the plate?

50,000 people have signed our petition so far and joined the Detox revolution. In Hong Kong, our exhibition brought the message to the streets where passers-by took a moment to write down their Detox demands.

Greenpeace launches a design competition giving everyone the chance to redesign the Nike and Adidas logos to better reflect their truly toxic practices and challenge them to become champions of a toxic-free future. Kai Giussepin's powerful illustration was the people's favourite.

Greenpeace asks supporters to take the Detox challenge to the Twitterverse, get creative with page design and show big brands like Nike and Adidas that there's no team like the people's team. Check out the results:

Meanwhile, 33 people show off their 'Detox' tattoos and drop their clothes in Chatuchak market, Bangkok. They join more than 600 people taking part in the world's largest coordinated striptease outside of Adidas and Nike stores around the globe to challenge the global sportswear manufacturers to become champions of a toxic-free future.

The XM3N, retail mannequins who've had it with their day jobs, join the 'Detox' challenge and appear in iconic locations in the world, wearing nothing but the Chinese symbol for water.

In the following days, XM3N pop up everywhere from Manila to Madrid and even help Greenpeace activists in Thailand to create a massive human 'Detox' banner on the banks of the Chao Phraya river.

Greenpeace launches the Detox campaign, challenging Nike and Adidas to be the first clean water champions by teaming up with their suppliers and eliminating all toxic, persistent and hormone-disrupting chemicals from their products and production processes.

After a year-long investigation, Greenpeace releases the 'Dirty Laundry' report, exposing hidden links between textile manufacturing facilities in China that discharge hazardous chemicals into the water, and international brands such as the sportswear giants Nike and Adidas.

See how we followed the toxic trail: from the pollution at the pipe, to factories that make our clothes, to the international clothing brands that have the power to change the system and Detox our future:
