A new, non-toxic coating to replace PFAS in textiles and packaging has moved closer to commercial production thanks to recognition from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The Fibrepel (formerly AguaShield) technology developed by London-based Demeter Bio, uses biomaterials to replace PFAS in applications such as clothing, upholstery, hygiene and packaging; replicating PFAS’ water and stain-repellent properties.

The new coating is designed to be repulped in standard recycling streams and is derived from seaweed and plant-based materials. It aims to replace polyethylene lamination in conventional paper cups and the fluorochemical treatments used for water and grease resistance. It also complies with the European Union’s Single Use Plastic Directive and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
