Automated compliance feature will help brands navigate new state-level PFAS regulations coming into effect January 2025
(Anaheim, CA) – RepSpark, a leading provider of digital solutions for B2B wholesale e-commerce for brands and retailers, is excited to announce the launch of its new PFAS Product Shipping Restrictions feature.
This innovative tool is designed to help brands seamlessly comply with upcoming state-level regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), set to take effect in January 2025.
The new feature automates compliance by restricting shipments of PFAS-containing products to states with strict regulations. This will reduce the need for manual oversight, minimizes the risk of human error, and ensures consistent regulatory adherence across all orders.
Why Brands Need to Care About PFAS Shipping Restrictions
PFAS are becoming heavily regulated due to environmental and health concerns. Brands that fail to comply with these new regulations face potential legal repercussions and risk damaging their reputation.
RepSpark’s PFAS Product Shipping Restrictions feature ensures that brands remain compliant by automatically managing shipping restrictions, allowing them to focus on their core business activities.
“Ensuring compliance with PFAS regulations is not just a legal necessity but a commitment to responsible business practices,” said Meghann Butcher, CEO of RepSpark. “Our new PFAS feature takes the guesswork out of compliance, automating the process so brands can concentrate on what they do best—delivering quality products to their customers.”
Key Features of RepSpark’s PFAS Product Shipping Restrictions
RepSpark’s platform automates several time-consuming tasks associated with PFAS compliance:
- Product Labeling: Brands can label PFAS-containing products within their product catalog on RepSpark.
- Configurable Restrictions: Admins can set up shipping restrictions and warnings for specific states, customizing compliance to meet varying state laws.
- Customizable Notifications: Brands can personalize messages displayed to buyers regarding PFAS products, enhancing transparency.

A Commitment to Responsible Business Practices
