PFAS management is often treated as a matter of compliance: check the lists, confirm whether a chemical appears, and move forward if it doesn’t. But as PFAS definitions evolve and regulatory frameworks struggle to keep pace with chemical innovation, list-based screening alone is no longer sufficient to prevent risk.

Preventing "Regrettable Substitutions": ChemFORWARD to Lead Key Session at SETAC 2025

To win consumer and investor confidence in circularity, we need to systematically eliminate chemicals of concern in the materials used in everyday products.

Change Chemistry, ChemFORWARD, and Safer Chemistry Impact Fund are collaborating to start this conversation in earnest by convening this dedicated workshop to share progress on safer chemistry and identify opportunities to accelerate safe and sustainable design.

We’re thrilled to announce a series of exciting updates to the ChemFORWARD chemical optimization platform, designed to simplify your experience and empower you to manage your chemical safety needs more efficiently.
