WHAT IS PFAS?
As the global community grows increasingly concerned about the presence of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in everyday items, including non-stick cookware, Beka Cookware is leading the charge toward healthier and more sustainable cooking solutions. As a brand with 125 years of history in quality, innovation, and a profound understanding of market needs, we remain passionate about using the best materials for our products.
Recent discussions have shone a light on the pervasive presence of PFAS in various consumer products. Known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment and potential health risks, PFAS, including substances like PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), have sparked a significant debate. While PTFE coatings comply with stringent European food safety regulations and are considered safe for use at standard cooking temperatures, their environmental impact cannot be overlooked. The stability and longevity of these chemicals present considerable challenges to environmental sustainability, prompting a reevaluation of their widespread application in consumer goods.
Beka Cookware is moving towards a more sustainable strategy, focusing on the use of durable and recycled materials, backed by official certifications that validate our commitment to quality. We are on a path to creating a high-quality cookware world free from PFAS. By the end of this year, we will have all our product ranges free from PFAS, demonstrating our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability.
