Replacing BPA is the goal. Replacing it with something that won’t face the same fate is the harder part.

BPF and BPS are already facing the same regulatory scrutiny that pushed BPA out. Usually the pattern is simple: a material gets widely adopted, concerns accumulate, restrictions follow. Switching once doesn’t mean you’re done switching.

My team spent the last month trying to find replacements that actually break this cycle — materials that hold up not just under current food contact requirements, but under where regulation is clearly heading.

One example we came across was BASF’s Ultrason P range. It’s free of both BPA and BPS, already carries EU food contact certifications, and is built for the conditions food packaging actually faces, like fats, oils, detergents, and superheated steam.

It has been stress-tested against performance and compliance together, not just one or the other.

We found a handful of others like it.

In our webinar, we walked through the adoption-ready BPA alternatives our team identified and how to evaluate them so the choice you make today isn’t the problem you’re solving in 2027.
