PFAS Regulations: Are You Ready for What Comes Next?

Webinar Overview

The global push to regulate PFAS shows no signs of slowing down.

Across the EU, UK, US, and Canada, authorities continue to introduce new restrictions, reporting requirements, and policy shifts – often moving at different speeds and in different directions. For businesses, the challenge is no longer just awareness, but understanding where PFAS are present, whether their use is essential, and how to respond as rules continue to evolve.

In the United States, state-level prohibitions are expanding, even as federal requirements fluctuate due to initiatives from the Trump Administration.The UK has set a clear regulatory direction, while the EU continues to advance its PFAS agenda. Canada is progressing with reporting obligations, adding further complexity for global supply chains.

Join us on February 25th for a practical, expert-led update on the next chapter of PFAS regulation. We’ll break down what’s happening now, what’s expected in 2026, and how organisations can prepare.
