PFAS-Free Packaging: What It Means & Why It Matters

PFAS-Free Packaging: What It Means & Why It Matters

Protecting People, Planet, and Your Brand — The Sadho Way

 

In the world of sustainable packaging, not everything that looks “eco-friendly” is truly safe. One of the biggest hidden threats? PFAS — a group of synthetic chemicals often used in food packaging.

 

At Sadho, we manufacture and export PFAS-free, compostable bagasse tableware, ensuring your brand stays compliant, trusted, and truly sustainable.

Here’s why this matters more than ever.

 

 What Are PFAS?

 

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are man-made chemicals used to make products resistant to oil, water, and heat. They’re commonly found in non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, and unfortunately, even in food packaging.

 

Because they don’t break down in the environment or the human body, PFAS are also known as “forever chemicals.”

 

⚠️ Why PFAS in Food Packaging Is a Serious Issue

While PFAS may improve water resistance, they come at a major cost:

 

1. Health Concerns 🧬: Studies link PFAS exposure to cancer, hormone disruption, immune issues, and developmental problems.

 

2. Environmental Harm 🌍: These chemicals pollute soil and water and remain in the environment for decades.

 

3. Legal Risk 📜: Many regions — including the U.S., EU, and Canada — are banning PFAS in food packaging. Using PFAS-treated products can lead to regulatory fines, shipment rejections, and reputation damage.

 

✅ Sadho: 100% PFAS-Free. Always.

At Sadho, we believe “sustainable” should mean safe — for the planet, your customers, and your brand.
