In Raleigh, North Carolina, the 2024 PFAS in Textiles Conference will convene on May 2-3, 2024, addressing the pressing issue of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in textile manufacturing. This gathering at the StateView Hotel aims to foster multi-stakeholder dialogue to navigate the complexities surrounding PFAS usage, align on solutions, and promote responsible innovation.

With PFAS's widespread application in enhancing water repellency and stain resistance comes growing apprehension regarding their health and environmental impacts. The conference provides a platform for researchers, advocates, and industry leaders to exchange insights, discuss policy updates, and explore safer alternatives. By emphasizing collaboration, the event seeks to propel progress towards updated best practices for PFAS use, prioritizing consumer safety while ensuring industry sustainability.

Following the success of last year's conference, which spurred promising partnerships and initiatives, organizers are eager to expand the coalition and empower attendees to take actionable steps forward. Colleagues across the textile industry are encouraged to participate in shaping a more responsible and sustainable future for PFAS usage.
