flag SoyFoam, a PFAS-free firefighting foam made from soybeans, is being adopted by over 150 fire departments nationwide.

flag A new soy-based firefighting foam, SoyFoam, provides a PFAS-free alternative to traditional foams linked to cancer and environmental harm. flag Developed with support from the United Soybean Board, it is made from soybeans, works with existing equipment, and is competitively priced. flag Over 150 fire departments across 29 states, including Corydon, Kentucky, have adopted it after successful live-fire tests. flag The foam reduces firefighter exposure to carcinogens, supports U.S. soybean farmers facing declining prices, and benefits rural communities where volunteer firefighters often work farming jobs. flag While the U.S. military has delayed phasing out PFAS foams until 2028, SoyFoam represents growing momentum for safer, sustainable firefighting solutions.
