What are PFAS and why avoid them?
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are chemicals often used in products for their water-, grease-, and stain-repellent properties. In cookware, they are commonly found in non-stick coatings. While they may seem convenient, PFAS are increasingly under scrutiny. These substances break down extremely slowly, accumulate in the environment, and pose potential health risks.
Prolonged exposure to PFAS can have harmful effects on both humans and nature. Due to their near-indestructible nature, they are nicknamed "Forever Chemicals." At Beka Cookware, we take these concerns seriously and refuse to wait for legislation to drive change.
