Team Update - Zero Waste - February 2023

3M just announced that it will end all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025. That is good news but it doesn't mean PFAS isn't still a problem. Chemours and other companies will still produce PFAS and hundreds of companies use it in their products. This legislative session in Minnesota there is an opportunity to pass some bills that will protect us and the environment from PFAS pollution. Please contact your Minnesota Senator and Representative and ask them to support all of the PFAS bills. Click to get your Legislators' contact links.

Here is a list of the bills:

• HF 742 / SF 776 Ban PFAS chemicals in firefighting foam
• HF 372 / SF 450 Require manufacturers selling products with PFAS to disclose
• HF 552 Ban PFAS in Juvenile Products
• HF 1000 / SF 834 PFAS non-essential use ban
