PFAS, often called "forever chemicals", are found in everything from non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing to food packaging and industrial products. But growing concerns over their health and environmental impacts are driving tighter regulation around the world.

In this episode of the Sustainable Views Podcast, editor, Philippa Nuttall is joined by Elizabeth Meager and Florence Jones to explore what PFAS are, why they're attracting so much attention from regulators, and what businesses need to know as rules tighten across the EU, UK and US.

We also discuss the potential financial risks for companies, the legal action against manufacturers such as 3M, and why investors are paying closer attention to PFAS exposure.
