Chemicals are present in everything around us and are necessary for us to live our life – not all chemicals are harmful. However, it is essential to use chemicals responsibly. At RevolutionRace, we place strong emphasis on progressive chemical management.

Targets and measures

• No PFC’s

• 100% Oeko-Tex® 100 certified textile materials by 2025

We update our Restricted Substance List (RSL) twice a year. This list is part of our purchase agreement, and all our suppliers are committed to following it. The RSL is based on legislation like REACH (EU chemical legislation) and industry recommendations. We conduct regular random sampling checks to ensure compliance.

To further ensure chemical safety and have continuous chemical management, we are members of the ChemAct Network. ChemAct is a digital chemical management system where suppliers can upload test reports according to our Restricted Substances List to ensure compliance for each component. All suppliers are onboarded in ChemAct and work regularly within the system.

PFAS is a group of hazardous chemicals commonly used to achieve waterrepellent properties. Sine 2019, we have banned hazardous PFAS chemicals in our products, opting for fluorocarbon-free alternatives.

Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is an excellent minimum requirement to ensure a harmless end product. Products certified with Oeko-Tex® 100 meet at least the requirements of REACH, the EU’s chemical regulation.

Progress

In 2022/23, we conducted 334 chemical tests, and all test showed compliance. 98% of our materials are Oeko-Tex® 100 certified, and we aim to reach 100% by 2025.
