Sustainability has become a key priority for global brands, making material innovation more important than ever.
Patagonia looks for partners that can provide both high-performance materials and environmentally responsible solutions. Through its PFAS-free waterproof-breathable membrane technology and circular material innovations, BenQ Materials' functional fabric brand, Xpore, has become one of Patagonia's sustainable supply chain partners.
 

PFAS-free Technology Supporting Responsible Supply Chains

 
Waterproof-breathable fabrics are widely used in outdoor products, but traditional manufacturing often relies on PFAS chemicals. Because these substances are difficult to break down, they have become an important environmental issue worldwide.
Xpore has focused on developing PFAS-free and solvent-free waterproof-breathable membrane technology from the very beginning, reducing environmental impact while maintaining excellent product performance.
At the same time, BenQ Materials continues to strengthen responsible supply chain management through transparent operations and sound human rights practices, meeting the expectations of global customers and stakeholders.
 

Circular Materials for a More Sustainable Future

 
In addition to PFAS-free technology, BenQ Materials is expanding the use of circular materials through Xpore's e2cycle technology, giving production waste a second life and supporting sustainable product design.

 
Moving forward, BenQ Materials will continue advancing material innovation, responsible supply chain management, and circular economy practices to help build a more sustainable future.
