PFAS Restriction proposal – The countdown has begun


16th of May 2023
Join our webinar

On the 7th of February 2023, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published the long-awaited “universal” PFAS restriction proposal prepared by the competent authorities in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances), notorious for their presence in everyday products like food packaging, firefighting foam, textiles, and industrial sectors such as defence, automotive and construction, have raised serious concerns about their detrimental effects on human health and the environment.  

With information now available on ECHA’s website, the suggested restriction on PFAS, targeting an estimated +10 000 substances, has the potential to impact industries, businesses and consumers on a massive scale. Don’t miss out on the crucial insights into the PFAS restriction proposal, and join our online event.
