Discover our white paper on PFAS: industrial uses, future regulatory risks, innovationsand possible alternatives to eternal pollutants. More than 80 scientific publications analyzed (2020-2025)
Per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances, or PFASare today at the heart of regulatory, health and industrial concerns. Used in many sectors for their unique properties (resistance to water, grease, heat, etc.), they are now also known for their high performance. extreme persistence in the environment and their effects on human health.
Forthcoming bans, substitution obligations, growing pressure from NGOs and the general public: industrial players must act now to understand their uses, assess risks and anticipating the transition to sustainable alternatives.
