PFAS - Restriction

In August 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) published an updated proposal to restrict per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As part of the revision, additional sectors and uses were identified, and alternative regulatory options were assessed. Although the updated proposal includes additional derogations, it does not represent a fundamental turning point. The BDI position paper evaluates the current status of the restriction procedure and outlines possible solutions.
