PFAS regulations are no longer a future issue. In Denmark, they’re already law.
If you run an industrial site—especially in food, beverage, or pharma—this matters.
What Are PFAS, and Why Is Denmark Acting?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are known as “forever chemicals.” They’re used in everything from cleaning products to coatings, but they don’t break down—and many have been linked to serious health risks.
Denmark was the first EU country to ban PFAS in food packaging and is now one of the strictest in regulating PFAS discharge from industrial wastewater.
Denmark’s 2025 Limits (and What They Mean)
-
PFOS: ≤ 2 ng/L
-
PFOA: ≤ 2 ng/L
-
Total PFAS (20+ compounds): under regulatory watch, with future caps likely
-
Regular testing & reporting required for high-risk industries
For comparison, older treatment systems often leave PFAS levels 10–100x above these thresholds.
Who’s Affected?
Industries that use a lot of hot water, cleaning agents, or chemical inputs are the most exposed:
-
Food and beverage (CIP, rinse, sanitation)
-
Pharmaceuticals and biotech
-
Metal processing and electroplating
-
Landfills and recycling plants
If your process sends water to the drain, you’re on the radar.
What You Need to Do
-
Test your wastewater. Know your PFAS levels.
-
Evaluate your treatment system. Most filters won’t cut it.
-
Plan for certified PFAS removal and legal waste disposal.
-
Document everything. Regulators require proof—not promises.
