Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have long been used in the healthcare industry due to their resistance to heat, chemicals, and friction.

However, with increasing scrutiny over their environmental and health impacts, global regulatory efforts are rapidly evolving — with an EU-wide ban proposed by 2030 and key suppliers already phasing out production.

Join BSI during Healthcare Week 2025 for a free webinar that goes beyond the basics.

This session offers a dynamic fireside chat and panel discussion bringing together regulatory experts and industry leaders to explore how the healthcare sector can respond to the PFAS phase-out while continuing to innovate responsibly.
