PFAS & Plastics
Langan Helps Institute Strategies and Solutions to Manage PFAS in Plastics
The plastics industry plays a major role in the generation of PFAS, which presents significant environmental and public health challenges. Renowned for their resistance and stability, PFAS are persistent in the environment; within the plastics sector, they serve as processing aids, performance-enhancing additives, and the structural basis for fluoropolymers—high-performance plastics known for their chemical resistance and thermal stability. Yet the presence of PFAS can also be an unintended consequence of certain plastics manufacturing processes.
