to all PFAS (fulfilling OECD definition), 18 months of `transition period' after Entry into Force Derogations pesticidal active substances biocidal active substance human and veterinary medicinal products Time-limited derogations = "delayed ban" applied either 6.5 or 13.5 years later from EiF tentative derogations proposed in square brackets [...] where data is not enough Dominating "antiPFAS" narrative is based on old technologies based PFOS, PFOA - banned since more than 10 years in Europe! Some Substances in scope of PFAS Proposal Fluoropolymers (PTFE, PFA, etc) F-Gases (e.g 1234yf and 1336mzz isomers) Fluoropolymers are a specialty plastic Durable by design Fluoropolymers have thermal, chemical, photochemical, hydrolytic, oxidative, and biological stability and they have negligible residual monomer and oligomer content and low to no leachables. Fluoropolymers do not pose a significant risk to human health or the environment when used for their intended purposes. F-Gases are specialty performance refrigerants and fluids. F-Gases (1234yf) are circular by design Three main properties: cooling, heating and insulation (blowing agents). Ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) and no Ozone depleting potential (ODP) 23 October 13, 2023 CHEMOURS: Chemours Today Fluoropolymers and F-Gases are used across sectors and are key to EU Initiatives and Policies All sectors are connected, one sector cannot exist without the other Both FPs & F-Gases are key driver of the "Green Deal" (Upstream and Downstream) Both FPs & F-Gases are substances of necessity rather than choice Constructi on Product Regulation Green Deal Industrial Emissions Directive Strategy for sustainable and smart mobility EU Industrial Strategy Climate Law Energy efficiency directive Shaping Europe's digital Future F-Gas Regulation Way forward - fluoropolymers Fluoropolymers should get "no time- limited derogation" for manufacturing and use in applications in transportation, medical, electronics, semicon, hydrogen, communication, chemical and other industrial applications Condition: responsible manufacturing through abatement & mandatory end-of- life management (ALL manufacturers & downstream users) Fluoropolymers and polymeric PFPEs: meet OECD criteria of low concern (PLCs), do not degrade and do not bio-accumulate (high molecular weight) The largest share of fluoropolymers waste shall be thermally treated and mineralised - standards for waste management facilities shall be harmonised State-of-the-art abatement technologies can reduce emissions of fluorinated organic compounds to a couple of kgs per year. Way forward - F gasses Low Global Warming Potential FGasses (HFOs) should be derogated for key sectors applications (Heatpumps, Automotive, Blowing agents for insulation) Condition: Mandatory recovery of F-gasses during life, periodic leak-checks, mandatory recovery end of life. Enable recovery of F-gasses in the End of Life Vehicle Directive (mandatory recycling) and Harmonise leak checks for new vehicles during yearly maintenance control Impose and enforce regular leak checks for heat pumps maintenance
