Get SMART! Is Your Water Poisoning You?

PFAS or per and poly-fluorinated chemicals (Forever Chemicals) are synthetic chemicals that cause cancer and many other health problems including kidney disease and attack your immune system. A recent study by the U.S. Geological Survey found at least 45% of the nation's tap water is estimated to have one or more types of PFAS.

❗Invented in the 1950's, they were used in making non-stick cookware, clothing, carpeting and firefighting foam. Some companies also use PFAs in their fiber takeout and #Foodservice products to make them grease resistant, so in those applications, consumers are actually eating on products that contain these chemicals.

The chemical companies have made billions off these toxic chemicals and now are drowning in lawsuits connected to them - according to various Wall Street Journal articles, there are already thousands of lawsuits in the USA and in Europe.

🚬 Sort of like how tobacco companies told us cigarettes were healthy and had doctors in commercials. Then we found out cigarettes were giving people lung cancer and killing them.

We value our clients' health at Terravive and we encourage everyone to get educated on PFAs or Forever Chemicals in your environment.

✅ Rest assured, Terravive doesn’t add any PFAs to our Foodservice and dining products!

🌱 Follow Terravive's mission to turn off the tap of plastic pollution globally.
