PFAS-Free Cleaning: New Procurement Rules for the Military.

This Act requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to procure, to the maximum extent practicable, only cleaning products certified as safer for health and the environment. The goal is to eliminate the use of products containing harmful chemicals, such as PFAS, by the military. While directly affecting the military, this increases demand for safer products, potentially leading to greater availability and lower costs in the civilian market.
Key points
The military must purchase cleaning products approved by the "Safer Choice" program or equivalent independent certifications.
This change aims to reduce the use of potentially harmful chemicals (like PFAS) on military bases, improving environmental safety.
Increased demand for safe products may stimulate the market to offer better alternatives for all consumers.
