Restrictions of PFAS in the EU
The EU plans to ban or restrict per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from 2025 due to their environmental impact. PFAS are found in many products such as cosmetics and packaging, but pose health and environmental risks. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has concluded the consultation phase for a possible restriction.
PFAS are already on the list of substances of very high concern. The initiative aims to restrict or ban PFAS starting from 2025. The restrictions can range from safety notices to a complete ban. Companies are advised to prepare early for potential changes.
