FRX Innovations announced that its Nofia® flame retardant has been chosen to provide active fire protection in the polyester textile fabric used in the recently completed refurbishment of airport seating at a major European airport. The Nofia® flame retardant was converted into inherently flame-retardant polyester fiber by one of the world's leading polyester producers. Nofia® flame retardants are suitable for use in the regular production of polyester, or for use in post-consumer recycled polyester, an increasingly important advantage for manufacturers.

In a letter to waste handling companies in August 2022, the UK Environment Agency announced that furniture containing certain brominated flame retardants, designated as Persistent Organic Pollutants, need to be disposed in specialized incineration facilities effective January 1, 2023. Furthermore, as there is no simple way to distinguish between different brominated flame retardants, this will mean a very large quantity of commercial and consumer furniture requires this type of disposal, and the waste industry is already saying sufficient capacity may not exist.
