Storm Creek

Tom Clouser, MAS, Director of National Accounts was back on the road this week—this time visiting our friends at HDS! From catching up with amazing team members to sharing the Storm Creek story, there’s nothing like seeing the energy and excitement around Storm Creek in real time. And yes… our clothes are trash. Literally. ♻️ Every piece is made with recycled materials. Pretty cool, right? Thanks to HDS for the warm welcome!

PFAS regulations are tightening—here’s what brands need to know: 🔬PFAS (“forever chemicals”) are being banned or restricted in over 15 states—and more are joining. 👕These laws impact a wide range of products: textiles, cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and more. 🌱Sustainability now means more than recycled materials—it’s about chemical safety and transparency. At Storm Creek, we’re committed to doing better—for people and the planet. That means choosing cleaner chemistry, working closely with our suppliers, and staying ahead of evolving regulations. We believe sustainability should never be an afterthought—it should be built into every thread, every fiber, and every decision. For more information about our sustainability practices or to schedule a Storm Creek Sustainability School® session, please contact us at compliance@stormcreek.com.
