What is PFAS?

PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals known for their resistance to heat, water, and oil. They have been widely used in various industrial applications, including some conventional nonstick cookware coatings.

Because PFAS can persist in the environment and accumulate over time, they are increasingly avoided in cookware and consumer products. As a result, many brands now offer PFAS-free alternatives. GreenPan uses PFAS-free nonstick in its cookware.

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. They are often referred to as “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down in the environment and can build up over long periods of exposure, which has raised health and environmental concerns.
