>Addressing PFAS Challenges Worldwide: ComplyMarket's Guide to PFAS Compliance
In an 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 various U.S. states, including Maine and Minnesota, recently finalizing TSCA Section 8(a)(7) which adds another complexity. This regulation requires extensive reporting and recording for PFAS under the Toxic Substances Control Act. By implementing strict measures to control the presence of PFAS in consumer goods, businesses are trying to align with this complex mandate.
>Understanding PFAS and Their Implications
PFAS are a group of synthetic chemical compounds used because of their durability and resistance to water, stains, and temperature. They have been used in a variety of industries ranging from non-stick cookware to firefighting foam. However, the stability that makes PFAS valuable also makes them persistent in the environment, with potential risks to human health and ecology.
Regulatory Response
In the EU and the US, regulations are catching up with the development of science. The restrictions expected by the EU and the US TSCA Part 8(a)(7) are expected to impose reporting obligations for about 12,000 PFAS compounds. For example, Maine legislation would prohibit the sale of products with intentionally added PFAS, and Minnesota is moving toward banning non-essential use of PFAS by 2032.
