Understanding PFAS Regulatory Requirements in the Plastic Industry
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have come under intense regulatory scrutiny due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks. Known as "forever chemicals," PFAS are used in a wide range of applications for their water, oil, and heat resistance. In the plastics industry, PFAS can appear in processing aids, flame retardants, coatings, and certain fluoropolymer resins. As regulatory agencies tighten controls, plastic manufacturers must understand how emerging PFAS regulations affect material selection, production, and compliance.
