In the framework of the EU Green Deal and as part of the new Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, a comprehensive series of actions addressing the use of per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been envisioned to ultimately reach the EU's zero pollution ambition plan. Building on this, the aim of the roundtable is to identify sectoral positions in relation to F-Gases, and highlight key recommendations concerning an upcoming PFAS Annex XV dossier proposal under REACH. The roundtable will be moderated by EPEE Senior Policy Director, Federica Rizzo, and will bring multiple stakeholders' takes to the discussion table.
