Should we stop using pans with PFAS?

Title

All companies that emit PFAS in the Netherlands are now immediately required to draw up plans to reduce those emissions. The more than ten thousand types of forever chemicals that are used, among other things, in pizza boxes, rain jackets, pans and medical devices have now been added to the list of substances of very high concern.

1. PFAS: what are they and why are they problematic
 

PFAS are ‘forever chemicals’ that build up in your body. They hardly break down in the environment or in your body. As a result, they can accumulate for years, even if you only ingest small amounts of them, such as through cookware.

2. Safe for the whole family, every day again

From your child’s first bites to the daily family meal: Matero helps you cook safely and consciously, without any doubt about what ends up on your plate from your pan.

"As a mother, I pay extra attention to what’s in and around my children’s food. That’s why I’m so happy with Matero: clean, safe, and PFAS-free. And it also cooks fantastically!"

3. No chemical fumes at high temperatures

Many standard non-stick coatings release unhealthy fumes at high heat. Our coating remains safe, even at higher temperatures.

4. Tested, safe and reliable

Matero has been extensively tested for food safety and meets the strictest European standards. Our pans contain no harmful substances and do not release any microparticles during use. That way you can be sure that what you cook is truly safe to serve.

"I wanted to be sure our pan was safe, without any strange substances or coatings that peel off. After some research I ended up with Matero, and the fact that they’ve been thoroughly tested immediately gave me confidence. You can tell in every way that this is a solid, reliable pan."

Should we stop using pans with PFAS?

By Suzanne van Mersbergen

Last updated: 23 September 2025.

All companies that emit PFAS in the Netherlands are now immediately required to draw up plans to reduce those emissions. The more than ten thousand types of forever chemicals that are used, among other things, in pizza boxes, rain jackets, pans and medical devices are now on the list of substances of very high concern.

 

 

1. PFAS are ‘forever chemicals’ 

PFAS hardly break down in the environment and in your body. As a result, they can build up for years – even if you only ingest small amounts, such as through cookware.

 

Risks:

- Build up in blood, liver and fatty tissue

- Can cross the placenta and end up in babies

- Once you come into contact with them, you can hardly get rid of them

 

Choose pans that are 100% PFAS-free, so also WITHOUT PTFE or GenX

2. PFAS are linked to serious health problems

More and more scientific studies show that long-term exposure to PFAS increases the risk of all kinds of health problems—even when it involves small amounts.

 

Linked to, among other things:

 

-Cancer (such as kidney and testicular cancer)

- Reduced fertility

- Disrupted hormone balance

- Elevated cholesterol and liver problems

- Damage to the immune system

 

Why take a risk with something you use every day?

3. “PFOA-free” does not mean PFAS-free 

Many manufacturers put “PFOA-free” on their pan, but still use other PFAS variants such as PTFE or GenX. That’s misleading: you think you’re choosing a healthier option, but you still take in harmful substances.

 

Watch out for these pitfalls:

 

- PTFE = also a PFAS

- GenX = a replacement for PFOA, but also harmful

- No clear disclosure = usually not PFAS-free

 

Choose 100% PFAS-free

4. PFAS pollute the environment worldwide 

PFAS don’t just end up in our bodies; they also pollute the environment. During production, use, and disposal, they enter the water and soil, and ultimately animals and food chains.

 

Major environmental impacts:

 

- PFAS in rainwater worldwide

- Disruption of ecosystems

- Harmful to fish, birds, and mammals

 

 Every PFAS-free pan is a step towards a healthier planet

5. There are safer and better alternatives

An example is the Dutch brand Matero Cookware, which develops pans without PTFE, PFOA, or other PFAS compounds.

 

Features of PFAS-free pans like Matero:

 

- Free from all harmful PFAS substances (including GenX and PTFE)

- Equipped with a durable, safe non-stick coating without fluorochemicals

- Suitable for all heat sources, including induction

- Easy to clean, without compromising on cooking performance

 

Choose a pan that is safe for your health and the environment, without compromising on ease of use or quality.
