Show HN: PFAS Reporting 2026 – Triage tool for the EPA's 2011–2026 lookback rule

Many U.S. businesses—especially those importing hardware, electronics, or coated textiles—are unaware of a major EPA reporting deadline coming up on April 13, 2026.
Under TSCA Section 8(a)(7), the EPA is requiring a one-time report on any PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) manufactured or imported into the U.S. since January 1, 2011. This includes "article importers," meaning if you imported a product containing a PFAS-coated component at any point in the last 15 years, you may be required to report it.
I built pfasreporting2026.com to act as a triage tool for small-to-medium businesses that don't have a dedicated environmental compliance team. It features a 2-minute assessment to help you determine if you're in scope and provides a "Supplier Demand Letter Kit" (in English and Mandarin) to help you get the necessary data from your international suppliers.
The penalties for non-compliance are significant (up to $37,500 per day), and the lookback to 2011 makes data collection a serious hurdle. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the tool or any questions about the regulation itself.
