WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP FOR IMPACT
Achieving progress requires working collectively with a common language to identify and eliminate PFAS. The PFACTS and Electronics Safer Chemistry Collaboratives have created this shared resources to spark an industry-wide response to rapidly reduce PFAS in products and processes to ensure a healthy workplace and to promote a circular economy.
pfasID is broad reaching tool for any sector and any user in the supply chain. It is designed to address the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape for PFAS and help companies take proactive steps to identify, report, and remediate PFAS.
Brands and OEMs can use their Responsible Sourcing Standards (RSS) and similar guidelines to encourage suppliers to screen for PFAS before submitting materials. By directing suppliers to pfasID, brands can ensure that their supply chain is being proactively screened to avoid PFAS
The reporting process provides brands with early assurance that the materials they are considering are free of potential PFAS, mitigating risks and liabilities.
Suppliers can proactively screen against varying PFAS regulations and customer requirements to ensure compliance and identify potential long-term risks.
Together we can prevent further release of PFAS.

An Invitation to Collaborate
Additional lists and definitions will be added to pfasID as new regulations emerge. Interested parties are invited to help make the tool more robust.
pfasID is part of a larger effort called, PFACTS: Faster Solutions for Forever Chemicals.
PFACTS is an NSF-funded collaboration of academic researchers, industry partners, and nonprofit organizations led by IBM. The three-year project is focused on developing tools to identify products with PFAS, accelerate the search for PFAS substitutes with the help of generative AI, and recommend materials for capturing PFAS at manufacturing sites.
