Navigating the PFAS Minefield

Dealing with Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a growing global challenge due to the compound’s high persistence and resistance to removal from the environment. PFAS are used in thousands of products and manufacturing processes. While some PFAS have been phased out, banned, or restricted, others continue to be used in new product development worldwide. They spread rapidly and travel long distances, contaminating water, air, soil, and flora and fauna, posing a potential exposure risk to human health.

How PFAS Risks Could be Impacting Your Business

For businesses, PFAS risks extend beyond the environmental impact. Stakeholders, including investors, regulators, and consumers, are increasingly demanding transparency regarding the use of PFAS in industrial processes and products. As a result, many companies are being required to disclose the presence of PFAS in their supply chain, production, and discharge processes.

Currently, supply chain managers, EHS managers, risk managers, sustainability professionals, and others confront a multitude of PFAS related challenges, including ensuring regulatory compliance, mitigating litigation risks linked to air, groundwater and soil contamination , addressing consumer demands, handling expensive PFAS remediation efforts, safeguarding brand reputation, and adjusting product formulations due to suppliers not meeting new PFAS regulations around the world.
