EREF Staff, Waste360 Staff

PFAS were first introduced into manufacturing in the 1930s and have been produced since the mid-20^th century. They’re in many products we use every day, including food packaging, outdoor gear, popcorn bags, food wrappers, facial moisturizers, mattresses, carpets, cookware, and much more.

Take a look at this timeline below, which is part one of a 5-part PFAS series with Environmental Research and Education Foundation (EREF).
