At Buttnski, our passion for the great outdoors is reflected in every product we create. Our goal with every product we design and produce is to help people have more fun doing what they love outside. As outdoor enthusiasts, we understand the importance of preserving the environment we love. In this post, we want to share with you why we have chosen to avoid the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in our outdoor gear and how this decision aligns with our commitment to sustainability, health and safety, and a deep respect for the natural environment.
Our Connection to Nature: At Buttnski, we believe in fostering a deep connection between individuals and the outdoor spaces they love. Whether you're an avid hiker, a dedicated camper, or simply enjoy the serenity of nature, we want to enhance your experience while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Why No PFAS? Unlike many conventional outdoor brands, we have made a conscious decision to exclude PFAS from our products. PFAS, commonly used in water-resistant and stain-repellent treatments, pose potential risks to both the environment and human health. As nature advocates, we prioritize creating gear that is not only high-performing but also aligns with our values of sustainability and responsibility.
Environmental Impact: PFAS are known for their persistence in the environment, and we believe in leaving the smallest ecological footprint possible. By avoiding PFAS in our manufacturing processes, we contribute to cleaner water sources, healthier ecosystems, and a reduced overall environmental burden.
Health and Well-being: What's the point in helping you get outside more to enjoy the health benefits of nature if you're wearing chemicals? PFAS have been associated with various health concerns, and we want to ensure that our products enhance your outdoor adventures without compromising your safety. By choosing PFAS-free materials, we provide you with gear that you can trust, allowing you to focus on the joy and beauty of the outdoors.
Sustainability at the Core: Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a guiding principle. By opting for PFAS-free alternatives, we promote the development and use of eco-friendly materials that support a healthier planet. We are committed to continually exploring and implementing sustainable practices to create products that align with your values.
Join Us on the Journey: We invite you to join us on our journey towards a cleaner, more sustainable outdoor experience. By choosing Buttnski, you're not just investing in high-quality clothing to do more of what you love outside; you're also contributing to a movement that values the preservation of nature and the well-being of outdoor enthusiasts like you.
At Buttnski, our commitment to nature goes beyond the thrill of adventure; it extends to the very materials we use in crafting our products. Choosing PFAS-free options is a testament to our dedication to creating a positive impact on the environment and ensuring that your outdoor experiences remain pure, authentic, and unforgettable. Let's continue to explore, enjoy, and protect the great outdoors together. And F u PFAS!
