PFAS restriction proposal
"Universal Ban" Annex XVII restriction to apply 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)

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

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
