Another Major Cookware Brand Commits to Full PFAS-Free Lineup by 2027
Following regulatory pressure and consumer demand, another major cookware manufacturer has committed to transitioning its entire product portfolio to PFAS-free coatings by 2027 — joining a growing wave of industry reformulation.
The Announcement
The manufacturer — one of the five largest cookware companies globally — announced that it will eliminate PTFE, PFOA, and all other PFAS-based chemicals from its non-stick coatings by the end of 2027. The company will transition to sol-gel ceramic and proprietary mineral-based coatings.
Why Now?
Several converging forces are driving this shift:
- EU universal PFAS ban: With the EU restriction advancing, manufacturers selling into European markets must reformulate regardless
- Consumer demand: Search interest in "PFAS-free cookware" has grown 300%+ since 2023 according to Google Trends data
- Liability risk: The 3M and DuPont settlements have made the legal costs of PFAS abundantly clear
- Competitive pressure: Brands like GreenPan and Caraway have built successful businesses entirely on PFAS-free positioning
What This Means for Consumers
The arc of the cookware industry is bending unmistakably toward PFAS-free. If you're currently using PTFE-coated pans, you don't need to panic — but now is a good time to start planning your transition. The options are better and more affordable than ever.
