What is PFAS Free? Navigating the 【Fluorine-Free】 Era in Food Packaging

In our pursuit of food safety, excellence goes beyond preventing contamination- it’s about the chemical integrity of our materials.

Today, "PFAS Free" has become a critical requirement for food packaging exported to North American and European markets.

What are PFAS, and why are they called "Forever Chemicals"?

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) were traditionally added to paper bags to provide superior oil and water resistance. However, these chemicals do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body, posing long-term health risks. Consequently, global regulations are shifting rapidly, with many regions implementing strict bans on PFAS in food-contact materials.

Should You Choose "PFAS Free" or "Fluorine-Containing" Packaging?

Advantages: Complies with the highest global food safety standards, ensures smooth customs clearance in premium markets, and enhances eco-friendly brand equity.

The Challenge: Requires advanced paper making and coating technology to maintain high grease resistance without chemical additives.

Fluorine-Containing:

Advantages: Excellent greaseproof performance at a lower cost.

Risks: Increasing regulatory bans and potential export rejections, coupled with long-term reputational risks.
