"MillerKnoll, a global design leader, announces that from May 2025 all North American products from the collective of brands will be free of any added per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS") ^¹, making MillerKnoll the first office furniture manufacturer to make this commitment. PFAS are substances also known as 'forever chemicals' that do not breakdown easily, making them problematic for the environment.

"At MillerKnoll, our products meet or exceed global PFAS regulations, but we are dedicated to setting the pace in creating products and spaces that go beyond minimum safety standards," said Gabe Wing, Vice President of Sustainability at MillerKnoll. "Today we have very little inventory that includes added PFAS. We're committing to not adding any PFAS to our products in North America from May of next year and to extend this commitment globally by fiscal year 2027 ahead of future regulations^¹."

By committing to remove 'forever chemicals' like PFAS from products and integrating criteria for safer alternatives into design and safety processes, MillerKnoll aims to exceed consumer expectations and meet increasing regulatory demands for chemical transparency."
