The UK has set out its approach to regulating fluorochemicals, and the EU has projected the savings from a proposed ban
On 3 February, the UK government revealed its ‘PFAS Plan’ – setting out the country’s approach to monitoring and regulating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Meanwhile, a January study from the European Commission suggests that the EU’s proposed full ban on PFAS could lower health and environmental costs by €110 billion (£95 billion) between now and 2050.
