PFAS Challenges and Solutions: Supply Chain Sustainability for Complex Manufacturers

Analyst Insight: Key regulatory deadlines for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are fast approaching, and will create significant hurdles for manufacturers. These difficulties are compounded by the fact that chemical manufacturers are phasing out PFAS, introducing the risk of obsolescence for both parts and production equipment. It’s essential that manufacturers act quickly to gather detailed supply chain data to assess PFAS risks and prevent costly disruptions.

PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are long-lasting substances that pose significant environmental and human health risks. A growing number of regulations are being introduced to mandate reporting, or place limitations, on their use. 

For complex manufacturers, rigorous data-collection processes have become essential to navigating the fast-evolving PFAS regulatory landscape. Com…
