PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, were once considered miraculous for their ability to make products water-repellent, non-stick, and stain-resistant.

"We are aware that restricting all PFASs will pose major challenges for many companies. Ten years ago, we were faced with this task ourselves and put a lot of effort into finding pollutant-free alternatives; we went through countless test series and also had to accept setbacks time and again. But it was worth it!" says Bettina Roth, Head of Quality Management at Vaude. © Vaude
