Planning for a fluorine free future: Transitioning away from PFAS firefighting foams

10 June 2026

5 minutes read

The withdrawal of legacy PFAS‑based AFFFs is no longer a theoretical future issue, it is already underway. In the UK, the use of older foams containing substances such as PFOS and PFOA is now prohibited. In addition, consultation is progressing on further restrictions that will significantly limit the continued use of all PFAS‑based foams. In parallel, the European Union has set out a clear pathway towards the complete removal of PFAS foams, with defined transition periods leading to a fluorine‑free end state.
