PFAS Reporting Solution

Addressing the 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) has become a focal point for environmental compliance worldwide. With the European Union and several U.S. states, including Maine and Minnesota. With the recent completion of TSCA Section 8(a)(7) adding another layer of complexity. Under these Regulations, the Toxic Substances Control Act provides for comprehensive reporting and recording for PFAS.   Introducing strict measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer items, companies are struggling to align with these complex mandates.

Understanding PFAS and its implications

PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals used for their durability and resistance to water, stains, and temperature. They have been used in numerous industries for applications ranging from non-stick cookware to firefighting foams. However, the stability that makes PFAS valuable also makes them persistent in the environment, with potential risks to human and ecological health.

The normative response

In the EU and the US, regulations are catching up with science. The expected EU restrictions and Section 8(a)(7) of the U.S. TSCA impose reporting obligations for approximately 12,000 PFAS substances. For example, Maine law will prohibit the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving toward banning non-essential uses of PFAS by 2032.
