PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, dubbed"forever chemicals" because they do not easily break down, are used in a range of products from firefighting foam to non-stick cookware, and have been linked to cancer and hormonal dysfunction. In August, 3M secured preliminary approval for a $10.3 billion deal resolving claims by U.S. public water providers over pollution by PFAS.
While the non-PFAS manufacturing continues at the Belgian facility, PFAS has been idled. The idling, and any further developments, could have a"significant adverse impact" on 3M Belgium's normal operations and its businesses that depend on the facility, the company said on Monday.3M has outlined plans to exit from all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025.
