In a recent revelation, the Centers for Environmental Health (CEH) have sounded the alarm regarding elevated levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) discovered in sportswear manufactured by several prominent brands. This chemical, associated with potential health risks including increased blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and infertility, has sparked legal action against eight activewear companies.
The CEH's findings have raised significant concerns, indicating that the affected brands have exceeded the permissible BPA limit by more than 40 times in their clothing products. Among the implicated brands are industry giants such as Nike, Adidas, Patagonia, Athleta, Champion, Kohl's, Fabletics, and Sweaty Betty. However, amidst these concerns, we at Wellicious emerge as a beacon of integrity and safety in activewear.
At Wellicious, we offer a refreshing alternative to conventional sportswear brands. As a cradle to cradle certified company with a platinum certificate in material health, we prioritise sustainability and non-toxicity in our products. Our commitment to excellence ensures that Wellicious activewear is not only safe for our consumers but also environmentally responsible, from production to disposal.
Unlike the brands implicated in the CEH's investigation, we at Wellicious stand apart as pioneers in ethical and transparent manufacturing practices. By adhering to the rigorous standards of cradle to cradle certification, we demonstrate our dedication to creating products that not only meet high-quality standards but also prioritize human and environmental health.
In light of the recent revelations regarding BPA contamination in sportswear, we reaffirm our commitment to providing consumers with safe, sustainable alternatives.
