Do your products, supply chains, or waste streams contain PFAS? How do you know?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), so-called "forever chemicals," can be present either intentionally or unintentionally throughout your product supply chain. As public scrutiny and government oversight of PFAS — including PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS, PFBS, GenX, and other small molecule and fluoropolymer chemistries — continue to grow, it's critical to develop a thorough understanding of the chemical compounds throughout your product supply chain and waste streams.
