PFAS-Free Packaging Initiative

PFAS are a dangerous and unfortunately common chemical in the modern day. This is largely attributed to the fact that PFAS are frequently used in packaging and labels to be grease-resistant. Companies have been determined to continue using products with PFAS because they simply lack an alternative. However, this may not be the case forever.

Lecta Self-Adhesives has recently expanded on a project known as ‘Adestor Gloss GP PFAS-Free’. This gloss is designed to cover labels on packaging to prevent grease stains, but it is one of the few of its kind that does so without any forever chemicals. The product manager director explicitly stated that their goal was to create a comparable product that also takes environmental protection into account. While the government seeks ways to limit PFAS contamination, there is hope from the private sector that we can begin to replace PFAS within common products.
