Makes sense. Consumer products can be easily changed however.
The real issue is the byproducts of the industrial processes that use PFAS. Yes, we will need some time to develop new materials that have specific properties, but we need to start addressing how we use these chemicals and dispose of the industrial waste.
Consumer products aren't the source of the problem. It's industrial management at the factory.... Fix that instead of making every day live shittier for regular people
