Pass state-level PFAS phase-outs in products and packaging; advance model policies.
Pass strong state bans that phase out intentionally added PFAS in major consumer-product categories, while closing loopholes that undermine enforcement. This strategy funds the drafting, coalition work, and legislative execution needed to win durable language, tighten “essential use” exemptions, and spread model policies across states so reformulation becomes the default.
