Eco extinguishers

Eco-friendly fire firefighting for the future

The fire protection industry is facing significant changes due to environmental concerns over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).The European Union has proposed a comprehensive restriction on PFAS by December 2030, aiming to phase out these persistent chemicals.In the UK, a ban on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a specific PFAS compound, will take effect in July 2025. Transitioning to fluorine-free fire safety products now ensures proactive compliance with future legislation.
