PFAS Regulations and Strategies for Compliance
The evolving landscape of PFAS compliance
Inside the white paper you’ll learn more about the changing and evolving regulations for PFAS. To mitigate the effects of PFAS on the environment and human health, many jurisdictions have adopted legislation addressing a range of applications. With definitions and standards varying across jurisdictions, staying compliant requires staying informed and proactive. Whether you’re in manufacturing, retail or any sector using PFAS, knowing the rules is the first step toward responsibility. Learn detailed information regarding specific regulations in key markets through our whitepaper to stay informed on the current landscape.
Strategies for PFAS identification and management for compliance
To effectively manage across the supply chain, it is important to identify PFAS in your portfolio of raw materials, components and finished products. Identification and evaluation of alternatives are key considerations for PFAS obsolescence, particularly where parts or materials are no longer available, or in sectors where PFAS-containing products don’t meet consumer expectations. Learn more about evaluating whether PFAS is present in your supply chain and how to determine a path forward.
PFAS compliance, liability and litigation
Organizations facing litigation may encounter not only legal penalties such as remediation duties, fines and legal fees, but also adverse effects on their brand reputation and consumer trust. Given the increased consumer awareness and regulatory changes, ongoing litigation is likely.
