Our ceramic non-stick coating
When our founders, two childhood friends from Belgium, learned how toxic conventional non-stick pans could contain controversial substances as PFAS, they saw an opportunity to change things for the better. Back in 2007, GreenPan developed its first pans with a PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating.
It is important for us to be able to guarantee that our cookware is of excellent quality & PFAS-free. That is why we produce our Thermolon™ non-stick coating ourselves. This way, we always know exactly what’s in our pans!
What are PFAS?
PFAS (poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances) is a collective name for a group of more than 6,000 man-made chemicals, including PTFE and PFOA. They are used to make everyday items water, grease, and dirt repellent. Examples include certain types of raincoats, food packaging, cosmetics, firefighting foam, and cookware with a traditional non-stick coating. PFAS are extremely strong and break down very slowly. Some will only disappear completely after 1,000 years. That is why they have been nicknamed ‘forever chemicals’.
Our factory, our rules
At GreenPan, we are a vertically integrated company, owning both our cookware and coating factories. This allows us to control every step of the production process and ensure each product meets our exacting standards.
In-house development gives us omplete insight into the DNA of every item we create. We don’t have to wait for the industry to change to do something about it, we are the change.
Solar panels
Solar energy is a more clean and renewable energy source, meaning it does not cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions and helps reduce carbon footprint. In our factory in China on average 5.7 million Kwh photovoltaic power is generated by our rooftop solar panels every year. In 2024, the overall green-mixed energy consumption was 55% of the overall energy.
