This week’s Chemical Watch News & Insight podcast looks at the factors behind retailer Patagonia’s 20-year journey to phase out the use of intentionally added PFAS.

Business editor Shanda Moorghen joins the podcast to talk about Patagonia’s recent announcement that it has phased out PFAS from its new products, how it got there, and why the company says it still will not market its products as "PFAS free". We also discuss the roles that NGO advocates, lawmakers and industry all have to play as more businesses and jurisdictions grapple with how to deal with the persistent, but useful, class of chemicals.

Tune in to learn more. And then come back to read the latest headlines from Enhesa’s Chemical Watch News & Insight.
