GreenPan revolutionised cookware in 2007 with the world's first PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating. Unlike traditional non-stick surfaces made with persistent "forever chemicals," GreenPan's Thermolon technology is derived from natural materials, heats faster, and won't release toxic fumes when overheated. Healthy cooking starts with safer cookware, and GreenPan has been leading the way since 2007.
Sustainability Scorecard
GreenPan's factory in China generates an average of 5.7 million kWh annually from rooftop solar panels, representing 30% of the facility's energy needs from solar alone. In 2024, the overall green-mixed energy consumption reached 55% of total factory energy use.
Their Thermolon™ ceramic non-stick coating requires 60% less heating energy during the curing process compared to conventional non-stick coatings, resulting in 60% fewer CO₂ emissions during production.
GreenPan owns and operates their own factories in Italy and China, providing complete control over manufacturing processes and environmental standards. Unlike many cookware companies, their facilities are dedicated exclusively to PFAS-free cookware production, eliminating cross-contamination risks.
Factory ownership rather than third-party manufacturing allows GreenPan to implement energy-efficient technologies directly and maintain rigorous oversight of environmental and labour standards throughout production.
GreenPan's aluminium cookware vessels are fabricated from a minimum of 65% recycled aluminium content. The company uses recycled cardboard for product packaging and has implemented closed-loop water systems where treated wastewater is reused in production processes.
GreenPan operates a cookware recycling programme where customers can send back old cookware using recycling kits, with GreenPan safely recycling the materials regardless of brand. They are committed to achieving 100% recyclable packaging and eliminating plastic packaging by 2026.
GreenPan holds the world's first NSF certification for a ceramic non-stick coating, with rigorous independent testing against food safety and toxicity standards. They are also the first cookware manufacturer to achieve Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard certification for responsible aluminium production and sourcing.
Their Valencia Pro collection received Good Housekeeping's 2023 Sustainable Innovations Award, and the company has earned recognition for environmental safety, worker satisfaction, and overall manufacturing standards.
GreenPan introduced the world's first PFAS-free ceramic non-stick coating in 2007, eliminating harmful forever chemicals from their products. Their Thermolon™ coating is derived from silicon dioxide rather than plastic-based materials, offering a non-toxic alternative that doesn't release harmful fumes even when overheated.
The company holds over 150 patents for technological advancements in clean cookware, with eight generations of Thermolon™ development demonstrating continuous innovation. GreenPan supports multiple agroforestry initiatives and ships all orders 100% carbon neutral through environmental offset programmes.
