EU Alignment & a PFAS-free Economy
To ensure effective protection for businesses, public health and the natural environment, the UK must commit to transition towards a PFAS-free economy. This could be achieved through alignment with EU chemical regulation, including the proposed universal PFAS restriction. This would provide greater certainty and security for UK businesses and ensure high standards of protection for public and environmental health.
There are also opportunities to start reducing PFAS emissions immediately. For example, progressing with the proposed restriction on PFAS in firefighting foams and introducing restrictions on PFAS in food packaging.
Past Initiatives
Food Packaging
PFAS are used unnecessarily in paper and cardboard food packaging across the UK. Alternative solutions are readily available. We’re calling for a restriction on PFAS use in food packaging.
School Uniforms
PFAS is often used for stain resistant treatments in school uniforms, but some retailers have committed to adopt PFAS-free alternatives. We now need robust regulation to support voluntary action.
