28 Sep 2023 --- The plastic industry warns that the current proposal to restrict PFAS in the European Economic Area does not differentiate between the different substances that need to be regulated individually. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has received more than 5,600 comments from organizations, companies and individuals on the proposal to restrict PFAS. Meanwhile, Plastics Europe Germany asserts that fluoropolymers, which play an essential role in industrial processes, energy, heat and mobility transition and digitalization, and according to OECD criteria, are not considered products of low concern and are therefore harmless.
