Description
Hawaii Senate Bill 683 (2025 Legislative Session) proposes expanding PFAS restrictions beyond the existing food packaging prohibition under Act 152. The bill would restrict PFAS in a broader range of products including clothing, textiles, food packaging, and cosmetic products such as lotions, nail polish, shaving cream, and mascara. The legislation recognizes PFAS as 'forever chemicals' that do not naturally break down and can enter the human body through consumption, skin application, and food packaging materials.
