Why This Matters

Health Risks & PFAS Contamination

Recent peer-reviewed studies and journalistic investigations reveal widespread PFAS (so-called "forever chemicals") contamination in school uniforms, especially those marketed as stain-resistant or waterproof. In one high-profile study published in Environmental Science & Technology, researchers tested school uniforms from popular brands and found PFAS in all of the stain-resistant samples tested.

The study showed that these PFAS levels were often higher than those found in other children's textiles such as hats or bibs. Researchers warn that this makes school uniforms a potentially significant route of PFAS exposure for children.

Regulatory Changes & Sustainability Goals

From 2025, California and New York will ban PFAS in textiles, setting a new standard for safer schoolwear. In the UK, amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill are advancing that would ban PFAS in school uniforms and require digital product passports showing the chemicals used in production.

For schools within these markets, the message is clear: act now to stay compliant, avoid disruption, and protect your reputation. For schools outside these regions, there is a real opportunity to move early. By aligning with global best practices, you not only future-proof your uniform program but also demonstrate to parents and stakeholders that your school is ahead of the curve on sustainability.
