The Problem

Traditional fluorinated surfactants have long been utilized in various industries, but their widespread use has raised significant environmental and health concerns. These compounds, while effective in their intended applications, pose serious risks to our ecosystem and well-being. Fluorinated surfactants are notorious for their persistence in the environment, meaning they do not readily degrade and can accumulate in soil, water bodies, and wildlife over time. This accumulation has led to serious contamination issues and long-term ecological damage. Additionally, there are growing concerns about the potential adverse effects on human health, including endocrine disruption, reproductive problems, and developmental abnormalities. These alarming findings highlight the urgent need for safer alternatives that can mitigate the environmental and health risks associated with traditional fluorinated surfactants.

Coming regulations that will hugely impact the industry include:

New Canada PFAS regulations

Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2022 to replace the regulations implemented in 2012. These would introduce additional restrictions on the use, import, manufacture, and sale of PFOS, PFOA, and LCPFCA, which are PFAS chemicals. The Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) has declared these substances toxic.

European Union (EU)

United States

Manufacturers must report the presence of PFAS in their products by January 1st, 2023. Also, Maine prohibits the sale of any product containing PFAS as of January 1st, 2030.
Products cannot be labelled as “recyclable” if they intentionally contain PFAS in the article or packaging for a functional reason or above 100ppm.
Manufacturers or importers must report information on the use of PFAS chemicals perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, perfluoroheptanoic acid, or perfluorononanoic acid in children’s toys.
