"3M announced this week that it will stop making chemicals commonly known as “forever chemicals” and stop using them in its products in the coming years.
The company, which makes a slate of products ranging from cleaning supplies to building materials and medical products, said in a Tuesday statement that it “will exit” manufacturing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance, known as PFAS, and “work to discontinue the use of PFAS across its product portfolio by the end of 2025.”
The company said in the Tuesday news release that it has “already reduced our use of PFAS over the past three years through ongoing research and development,” but will continue its efforts."
