Demand McDonalds and other fast food restaurants stop using PFAS chemicals!

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are also known as "forever chemicals" because they're slow to break down in the environment and the body.

Long-term exposure to PFAS can lead to health problems, such as increased risk of some cancers, low birth weight, and problems with the thyroid and immune system.

The chemicals are used to make fast food paper or cardboard containers resistant to grease or oil. But there are safer alternatives to PFAS, such as non-toxic fluoro-free grease-proof papers coated with sodium alginate (SA)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and SA/propylene glycol alginate and unbleached cardboard and paper such as ‘If You Care’ brand.
