Frequently Asked Questions
PFAS chemicals are synthetic substances commonly used in food packaging because they resist grease, moisture, and heat. Due to their persistence in the environment, they are often referred to as 'forever chemicals'.
PFAS regulations are becoming stricter because of growing environmental and health concerns linked to long-term chemical exposure. Regulatory authorities across Europe are increasing their focus on reducing PFAS use in packaging and food contact materials.
PFAS compliance involves maintaining supplier declarations, material disclosures, supporting evidence, and compliance documentation that demonstrate packaging aligns with applicable PFAS standards and regulatory expectations.
Supplier compliance is important because suppliers provide the material data and supporting evidence required for regulatory documentation. Without accurate supplier information, businesses may struggle to validate packaging requirements during audits.
Compliance documentation may include supplier declarations, material specifications, PFAS testing records, chemical disclosures, and internal compliance records that support packaging compliance processes.
PFAS restrictions refer to regulatory measures designed to limit or control the use of PFAS substances in packaging and other products. PFAS regulations in Europe continue to evolve as chemical compliance expectations increase.
A PFAS Declaration is a document that provides information about PFAS content, material composition, or compliance status within packaging materials and food contact materials.
PFAS testing helps businesses identify whether restricted substances may be present in packaging materials. Testing can strengthen compliance documentation and support better supplier compliance processes.
As PFAS regulations continue to evolve, businesses may face increasing pressure to improve documentation, strengthen supplier transparency, and maintain organised records that support long-term packaging compliance.
