Environment: Orgalim Position Paper on the restriction of PFAS
Europe’s technology industries are fully committed to reducing the content of hazardous substances in their products to support a more circular economy. Moreover, we fully support the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability published by the Commission. We also believe that substances posing an unacceptable risk due to their properties and use profile should be restricted or regulated, based on scientific assessment. However, a ban on the production and use of a broad range of PFAS, but also of specific PFAS, would considerably restrict the innovative capacity of industries. The European Union’s economic goals as well as the goals of the EU Green Deal would be hindered or endangered.
