PFAS vs PFOA vs PFOS **PFAS** is a broad family of fluorinated substances, while **PFOA** and **PFOS** are two specific substances within that larger group. For food-contact packaging buyers, these terms should not be treated as interchangeable. BROAD CHEMICAL FAMILY PFAS PFAS is an umbrella term covering a large group of fluorinated substances. A PFAS-related claim therefore refers to a broader chemical category rather than one individual compound. SPECIFIC PFAS PFOA PFOA is one specific substance within the PFAS family. A product described as **PFOA-free** addresses PFOA specifically, not necessarily every other PFAS substance. SPECIFIC PFAS PFOS PFOS is another individual substance within the wider PFAS family. Like PFOA, it represents only one part of the broader PFAS compliance assessment. **PFOA-Free Does Not Automatically Mean PFAS-Free.** A PFOA-free claim only addresses one specific PFAS. For compliance-sensitive food packaging, buyers should review the PFAS evidence applicable to the selected product and formulation. ## EU PPWR 2026 PFAS Requirements for Food-Contact Packaging For foodservice buyers importing packaging into the European Union, PFAS compliance is now a specific regulatory requirement rather than a general environmental claim. Under **Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR)**, the PFAS limits for food-contact packaging apply from **12 August 2026**. 25 ppb Individual PFAS Maximum concentration for any PFAS measured by targeted analysis. 250 ppb Sum of Targeted PFAS Maximum concentration for the sum of PFAS measured by targeted analysis. 50 ppm Total PFAS Threshold Limit covering PFAS, including polymeric PFAS, in food-contact packaging. How the European Commission Recommends PFAS Screening Because there is currently no single harmonised EU analytical method for PFAS in food-contact packaging, the European Commission recommends a stepwise enforcement approach. STEP 1 Total Fluorine Screening Total Fluorine (TF) is measured first. If the result is **below 50 mg/kg (50 ppm)**, the sample **could be considered compliant** under the Commission's recommended enforcement approach. → STEP 2 Organic vs. Inorganic Fluorine If Total Fluorine exceeds 50 mg/kg, further analysis may be used to determine whether the detected fluorine originates from organic fluorinated substances or inorganic sources. → STEP 3 Targeted PFAS Analysis Where further verification is required, targeted analysis and precursor testing can be used to assess the **25 ppb** and **250 ppb** limits. The European Commission also notes that, based on the evidence currently available, samples compliant with the Step-1 Total Fluorine test were also compliant with the subsequent testing steps. BIOLEADER® SUPPORTING SGS TEST EVIDENCE Total Fluorine: ND (<20 mg/kg) In the published SGS report, the tested **white sugarcane bagasse box** achieved a Total Fluorine result of **ND (<20 mg/kg)**. This result is below the European Commission's current **50 mg/kg Step-1 Total Fluorine screening level**. SGS tested sample **ND <20 mg/kg** EU Commission Step-1 level **<50 mg/kg** BELOW STEP-1 SCREENING LEVEL **Test scope:** The published SGS report provides supporting evidence for the tested white sugarcane bagasse box. It should not be interpreted as automatically covering every Bioleader® SKU, material, coating, or formulation. For EU projects, current documentation can be confirmed according to the selected product and specification.

A PFAS test report does not by itself prove compostability, while a compostability certificate does not demonstrate compliance with PFAS concentration limits. For applicable sugarcane bagasse tableware, Bioleader® maintains third-party testing and certification documentation covering both **PFAS screening** and **industrial or home compostability**, depending on the product, specification, certification scope, and destination market.

A general supplier statement or a test report for another item should not automatically be assumed to cover every SKU in a product range. 01 Identify the Exact SKU Confirm the product code, size, material, color, and required configuration. PFAS verification should begin with the exact item being purchased rather than a general product category. 02 Confirm the Formulation Check whether the selected product uses the same material and oil- or water-resistance formulation covered by the available supporting documentation. 03 Review the Applicable Evidence Check the laboratory, report number, tested sample, test parameter, method, result, and report scope. The evidence should correspond as closely as possible to the product being ordered. 04 Match the Destination Market Confirm which regulatory or customer requirements apply in the destination market. EU, U.S., distributor, retailer, and tender projects may require different supporting documents. 05 Reconfirm Before Ordering For compliance-sensitive orders, request the current documentation applicable to the final SKU and specification before the purchase order is confirmed. BUYER VERIFICATION What to Send Bioleader® for PFAS Documentation Review To confirm the most relevant PFAS documentation for your project, provide the selected product details and destination-market requirements. ✓ **Product code or product link** Exact SKU, size and configuration ✓ **Required quantity** Including initial order or annual demand ✓ **Destination country or market** For applicable compliance review ✓ **Required report or certification** If specified by your customer, retailer or tender **Important:** PFAS-free status should not be generalized from one tested sample to every product, size, material, coating, or formulation. Bioleader® can confirm the documentation currently applicable to the selected specification before compliance-sensitive orders are finalized. ## Materials Used in Compostable Tableware Compostable tableware may be produced using different **plant-based and compostable materials**, depending on the product category and intended use. Material selection is typically influenced by **availability, forming characteristics, and foodservice suitability**, rather than environmental labeling alone.

View Buyer Checklist →](https://www.bioleaderpack.com/ppwr-2026-foodservice-packaging-checklist/) ## Frequently Asked Questions Key questions for foodservice buyers evaluating PFAS testing, EU PPWR requirements, compostability certification, and product-specific compliance documentation. ### Is Bioleader® sugarcane bagasse tableware PFAS-free? PFAS-free options are available for applicable Bioleader® sugarcane bagasse tableware. A published SGS supporting report for a tested white sugarcane bagasse box recorded **Total Fluorine ND (<20 mg/kg)**. Because PFAS documentation is product- and formulation-specific, buyers should confirm the current evidence applicable to the selected SKU before placing compliance-sensitive orders. ### What PFAS test evidence does Bioleader® provide? Bioleader® publishes an SGS test report covering a white sugarcane bagasse box. The report uses a method with reference to **EN 14582:2016**, with analysis by ion chromatography (IC), and reports a Total Fluorine method detection limit of **20 mg/kg**. The tested sample result was **ND (<20 mg/kg)**. [View the SGS PFAS Test Report](https://www.bioleaderpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/PFAS-Free-Certificate.pdf) ### Does Total Fluorine ND For the tested sample, the SGS result of **Total Fluorine ND (<20 mg/kg)** is below the European Commission's current **50 mg/kg Step-1 Total Fluorine screening level**. Under the Commission's recommended enforcement approach, a sample with Total Fluorine below 50 mg/kg could be considered compliant. This comparison applies to the tested sample and should not be interpreted as automatic confirmation for every Bioleader® product. ### What are the EU PPWR PFAS limits for food-contact packaging? From **12 August 2026**, Regulation (EU) 2025/40 establishes three PFAS concentration limits for food-contact packaging: **25 ppb** for any individual PFAS measured by targeted analysis, **250 ppb** for the sum of targeted PFAS, and **50 ppm** for PFAS including polymeric PFAS. The European Commission recommends a stepwise enforcement approach beginning with Total Fluorine screening. Where further investigation is required, organic/inorganic fluorine analysis and targeted or TOP analysis may follow. ### Is PFAS-free the same as compostable? No. **PFAS-free and compostable are separate claims.** PFAS testing evaluates fluorinated substances and chemical compliance, while compostability testing evaluates biodegradation and disintegration under defined composting conditions. A PFAS test report does not by itself prove compostability, and a compostability certificate does not prove compliance with PFAS concentration limits. ### What compostability certificates are available for Bioleader® tableware? Bioleader® publishes third-party certification documentation for applicable products under recognized compostability standards and schemes, including **EN 13432, ASTM D6400, BPI, OK Compost Industrial, OK Compost Home, and AS 5810**. The applicable certificate depends on the product, material, certification scope, and destination market. [View Bioleader® Certificates & Test Reports](https://www.bioleaderpack.com/certificate/) ### Does one SGS or compostability certificate cover every Bioleader® SKU? No. Test reports and certificates apply only to the samples, products, materials, formulations, dimensions, or other conditions included within their relevant scope. The published SGS PFAS report, for example, provides supporting evidence for the tested white sugarcane bagasse box rather than automatically covering every Bioleader® product or material. ### Can buyers request current PFAS and compostability documentation for a specific product? Yes. For regulatory, distributor, private-label, or tender projects, buyers can provide the required product code, material, destination market, and certification requirement. Bioleader® can then confirm the documentation currently applicable to the selected SKU and specification, and product-specific testing can be discussed where additional verification is required. ## Request PFAS-Free Tableware Pricing & Documentation
