Patagonia’s Commitment and Collaboration with Xpore
At the conference, Patagonia shared its sustainability journey, highlighting a decade of progress in prioritizing sustainable materials. Today, more than 95% of its products are made with preferred materials, and Patagonia has committed to eliminating PFAS by 2025. The company also continues to advance its Waste Economy initiatives and Fair Trade programs, reinforcing its dedication to brand responsibility and social value through both policies and actions.
Patagonia also reflected on its collaboration with BenQ Materials’ textile brand Xpore. Since Xpore’s launch in 2020 with its PFAS-free and solvent-free innovative material, Patagonia recognized the alignment in values and officially began the collaboration in 2023. The partnership has already resulted in the application of the Xpore Ultra nanoporous membrane in the Patagonia M10® Waterproof Alpine Anorak, a product that combines high performance with environmentally friendly manufacturing. This represents a strong example of how technology and sustainability can go hand in hand.
