As the EU moves forward with the proposed PFAS restriction under REACH, companies should begin preparing for upcoming regulatory requirements. Depending on the final scope, exemptions, and transition periods, the regulation could affect product portfolios, sourcing strategies, and compliance processes across many industries. 
 
In this session, we take a closer look at the proposed PFAS legislation and what it may mean for companies in practice. We will explain the expected regulatory approach, possible transition phases, and the role of derogations for applications where alternatives may not yet exist. You will also learn why it is important to start preparing early and how companies can gain better visibility into PFAS use across products and supply chains in help of digital tools.

What you’ll learn:

  • Overview of the proposed EU PFAS legislation 
  • Expected phases, transition periods, and possible derogations 
  • Why companies should start preparing now
