The aerosol was created in 1928 and has now become a handy companion in our everyday lives, from the bathroom to the kitchen, via the garage or even at work. Aerosols are practical, economical, recyclable and environmentally friendly and they are everywhere. In France, more than 600 million aerosols are used each year.

Teaching people more about aerosols is still the CFA’s main mission.

In 2007, the CFA, which has been running consumer information campaigns for many years, is providing a new document “Découvertes” (Discoveries). Designed like a real newspaper and featuring plenty of illustrations, the magazine is entertaining, educational and contains a mine of information.
