Global PFAS bans drive pulp molding food packaging toward fluorine free standards.

The global control of PFAS in food packaging is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently revoked the licenses for 35 types of PFAS containing food packaging materials based on the cessation of production by companies, marking the transition of the United States from local authorities (such as California and Washington state) to a nationwide ban. The EU has always listed PFAS as a substance of high concern. China will include specific PFAS in the key control list and strictly control the standards of food packaging materials.

This trend is strongly driving the industry to seek safer fluorine free alternatives. Pulp molding packaging, using natural plant fibers as the main raw material. By optimizing the process, pulp molding can naturally achieve excellent physical protection performance and meet food contact safety requirements. This aligns with the market's core demands for health, safety, and sustainability.

With the deepening of scientific understanding and the tightening of regulations, "fluoride free" food packaging has become an irreversible global consensus. Pulp molding enterprises should continuously optimize fluorine free processes to ensure that their products meet increasingly stringent global standards and seize this significant development opportunity.
