In NIRI's latest whitepaper, we explore the urgent need for PFAS replacement within nonwoven and fibre based products and discover where opportunities exist to achieve this through innovations in nonwoven and materials science.
The nonwoven sector embraces innovation and environmental and social responsibility perhaps more than any other sector. As the EU and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bring in further regulations to restrict the use of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), we face significant challenges and the pervasiveness of PFAS means these changes will affect industries across the board, from construction to filtration, from medical to food and beverage.
Charting the Path Toward PFAS-Free Solutions
To provide support to industries affected by the recent, and upcoming, sustainability regulatory changes, NIRI has produced a new white paper outlining the issues of PFAS replacement, and exploring potential solutions to help our clients maintain a competitive edge while addressing the business-critical aspects of sustainability and social responsibility. The white paper offers insights into how new material science and fiber innovation, coupled with pragmatic product design decisions, can reduce dependency on PFAS or eliminate it altogether, without compromising performance requirements.
