Responsible PFAS management for Manufacturing Companies

Three Good Reasons to Stay Ahead of PFAS

Does your company use PFAS in products, production equipment, or the supply chain? Do you have an overview of the extent of its presence? Do you know if these substances can be phased out—and how? Have you made a plan for the next steps?

If not, your company is far from alone. However, there are compelling reasons to take PFAS seriously in your business:

1. Requirements from major players: Leading companies are already demanding that their suppliers phase out PFAS.
2. Market advantages through PFAS action: Responsible PFAS management is becoming a competitive advantage that can boost both market position and revenue.
3. Stricter regulations: PFAS regulations will only become more stringent moving forward.

In other words, if your company does not manage PFAS, you risk losing customers, revenue, and market access.

Learn More About PFAS

At the Danish Technological Institute, we are currently receiving numerous inquiries from companies with questions about PFAS—often with the aim of identifying the extent of its presence and finding viable alternatives to these substances. This requires specialized knowledge and skills that are typically not anchored anywhere within the company and often fall outside its core business areas. If this applies to your company, you should consider attending.
