Responsible PFAS management for Manufacturing Companies

Benefits

• A thorough understanding of PFAS and related legislation in Denmark, the EU, and the USA.
• The ability to identify where in products and supply chains there is a risk of PFAS presence.
• Learning the latest requirements for PFAS declaration and their practical management.
• Concrete tools to assess and place demands on suppliers regarding PFAS.

Who Are You?

The course is primarily aimed at individuals for whom PFAS is a relatively new area and who need an overview, action plan, and knowledge. If you are more experienced, we offer other collaboration formats where we can assist you and your company with PFAS mapping, phase-out, and consulting.

Typical participants in the course include:

• Compliance Managers
• QHSE Personnel (Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment)
• Regulatory Affairs Specialists
• Product Compliance Engineers
• Employees in purchasing, sales, and quality departments

What Type of Companies Can Participate?

The course is generally targeted at manufacturing companies across all industries that work with products where there is a risk of PFAS content and need to ensure compliance with both current and upcoming legislation.

Examples include companies related to: Plastics • Textiles • Paint • Coatings • Packaging • Cooling elements • Furniture • Cosmetics • Cleaning agents • Impregnation • Technical components • Food and beverages • Rubber components • Pumps • Carpets • Eyeglass lenses • And more

Why Should You Participate?

At the Danish Technological Institute, we are currently receiving many inquiries from companies with questions about PFAS—often with a desire to identify the scope and find good alternatives to these substances. This requires specialized knowledge and skills that are typically not anchored anywhere within the company and are far outside the core business. If this sounds familiar, you should consider participating.

Also, remember that even though a potential upcoming ban on PFAS in the EU has not yet been implemented, your company should already be considering:

• Environmental consequences of PFAS emissions that accumulate in the environment and humans.
• Health risks for employees, customers, and consumers due to the use and emission of PFAS.
• Consumer awareness of PFAS, which can change purchasing patterns and customer behavior.
• Potential financial liability for PFAS emissions—even retroactively.
• Reputational damage and bad publicity due to inaction.
• International trade barriers due to regional and local PFAS regulations.
• Weakened investor interest due to a lack of demonstrated responsible PFAS management.
