Sustainability takes practice

How we make PFAS-free cookware

We are constantly working to make the highest quality nonstick cookware on the market better for everyone. Discover what we do to live up to our name.

THE ORIGINAL HEALTHY CERAMIC NONSTICK

THE GREENPAN DIFFERENCE

Green is the purpose that drives us. Our focus on the environment has been a part of our story since day one. Created in 2007, our healthy ceramic nonstick is the
first, and best, alternative to conventional nonstick coatings.

Some companies make a big deal of the few toxins they don’t use, but if it’s not PFAS-free, it’s not healthy.

FOREVER CHEMICALS

WHAT ARE PFAS?

Conventional nonstick coatings are made with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), a family of synthetic chemicals. Conventional nonstick is just one form of PFAS (called PTFE). Additional PFAS chemicals, known as processing aids, are needed to transform PTFE into a sprayable coating.

Some sources show that there are at least 12,000 different PFAS in existence, and the list is growing. What you cook on matters!

WE’RE NEVER SATISFIED

OUR FACTORY, OUR RULES

We’re in it for the long haul, so we’re committed to sustainable practices. We want to be the best we can be. And we’re not waiting for anyone else to make things better. We continue to examine our process because we’re constantly striving to be better. 

By the time you read this, we will have taken the opportunity to improve something else.

AGAIN & AGAIN

RECYCLED MATERIALS

Sustainable products aren’t a substitute, they’re the only way forward. We make our coating, we make our pans, and we make sure every product is made for the future.

All our aluminium pans are made with recycled aluminium. We use recycled cardboard in our packaging. We’re committed to further incorporating recycled and sustainable materials into our processes.

CLEANER WATER

WASTEWATER TREATMENT

You may have read about companies pouring materials used to make nonstick products into rivers and streams, letting nature deal with the waste. 

While our process doesn’t use PFAS to begin with, we’ve taken the additional step of building a wastewater management facility onsite. The water from production is treated and reused, creating a sustainable cycle.
