What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A wave of PFAS restrictions on food packaging has prompted a surge in inquiries for alternative pulp materials from international buyers. These buyers are located in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and the UAE. The restrictions are driven by regulatory actions in major markets in 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) took full effect on August 12, 2026, imposing strict limits on PFAS in food-contact packaging with no grandfathering period. Additionally, several US states have enacted new PFAS restrictions in force in 2026, including Maine's outright ban effective January 1.
