Orgalim’s reaction to PFAS restriction evaluation process

Need for a targeted, proportionate and differentiated approach  that ensures in-depth assessment of uses in all relevant sectors.

Orgalim is fully committed to engaging constructively in the process and to supporting evidence-based, proportionate measures that effectively protect human health and the environment, while safeguarding Europe’s capacity to innovate, manufacture, and deliver essential cleantech solutions.

The inclusion of additional sectors appears to be the direct result of the consultation process and a thorough evaluation by the dossier submitters of the nearly 6,0000 comments received, showcasing the breadth of PFAS real-life applications across the European economy and the importance of consulting with relevant stakeholders in the process – which we support.

However, Orgalim is greatly concerned to learn that, despite their enormous significance, the additional sectors will not be subject to sector‑specific evaluations by ECHA’s scientific committees (RAC and SEAC) in the current process.
