Q: Does the Tyvek® used in Mighty Wallets contain PFAS?
A: No, the Tyvek® used in Mighty Wallets does not contain PFAS. Mighty Wallets are made exclusively from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is a safe, non-toxic, and recyclable material. HDPE is the sole component of the Tyvek® we use, ensuring that our products are free from PFAS and other harmful chemicals.
Q: What are PFAS, and why are they a concern?
A: PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many other chemicals. PFAS have been widely used in various industrial applications and consumer products, including non-stick cookware, water-repellent fabrics, and some firefighting foams. These substances can persist in the environment and the human body for long periods, and exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health outcomes. For more detailed information about PFAS, please visit the EPA's PFAS Explained page. The EPA's page has details about non-coated Tyvek®.
