3M Novec Phase Out

3M Announces Phase-Out of Novec PFAS-Based Products by End of 2025

On December 20, 2022, 3M announced their plan to phase out their Novec PFAS-based product lines by the end of 2025. This decision comes after a thorough evaluation of the external landscape, considering factors such as regulatory trends focused on reducing or eliminating PFAS in the environment and evolving stakeholder expectations.

“3M today announced it plans to exit per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) manufacturing and work to discontinue use of PFAS in its product portfolio by the end of 2025. This portfolio decision is based on careful consideration and a thorough evaluation of the external landscape, including multiple factors such as accelerating regulatory trends focused on reducing or eliminating the presence of PFAS in the environment and changing stakeholder expectations.”
