Tackling PFAS Challenge worldwide: A ComplyMarket Guide to PFAS Compliance
In the ever-evolving regulatory environment, the reporting and restriction of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have become a focal point for environmental compliance across the globe. With the European Union and various US states, including Maine and Minnesota. With the recent finalization of the TSCA Section 8(a)(7) adding another layer of complexity. This regulation mandates extensive reporting and recordkeeping for PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act. introducing stringent measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer articles, businesses are scrambling to align with these complex mandates.
Understanding PFAS and Their Implications
PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals utilized for their durability and resistance to water, stains, and temperature. They have been employed in numerous industries for applications ranging from non-stick cookware to firefighting foams. However, the stability that makes PFAS valuable also renders them persistent in the environment, with potential risks to human and ecological health.
The Regulatory Response
In the EU and the US, regulations are catching up with the science. The EU's expected restrictions and the US TSCA Section 8(a)(7) are set to impose reporting obligations for approximately 12,000 PFAS substances. For instance, Maine's law will prohibit the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving towards banning non-essential uses of PFAS by 2032.
