Good overview on the use and costs numbers (not emissions). I will also send the report to the WP7 colleagues at RIVM and ask especially if the persons working on the cost assessment would like to have a meeting. Kind regards, From: 5 1 2e <Mil=@plaStiCSeurope.org> Sent: donderdag 2 juni 2022 17:22 To: @rivm.nl> Cc: restrictiePFAS @ rivm. nl> Subject: Fluoropolymer Products Group - Socio-Economic report - Request to share the outcomes of our studies with your 4 REACH authorities colleagues 5.1.2e As discussed FPG finalized tow of its studies. We will be interested to present them to you and your colleagues of the 4 authorities working with you on the PFAS proposed REACH restriction. Let us know if such meeting is possible. Update socio-economic study. The survey -- conducted with FPG members between October 2021 and January 2022 -- reveals, amongst other data, that Europe is a net exporter of fluoropolymers. The average values per tonne of fluoropolymers produced in Europe and exported are significantly higher than the average values imported_ This could indicate that the European producers are increasingly focusing on the higher value market. Driven by global mega-trends such as the energy transition and digitalisation, fluoropolymers, owing to their unique set of properties, are increasingly being used in in innovative products from transportation equipment, electronics, construction, industrial equipment, and renewable energy. Fluoropolymers are an integral component of emerging technologies driving the Green Deal and digitalization, used within numerous cutting-edge applications_ This is reflected in the sales values, with several sectors experiencing significant growth, specifically within the renewable energy (+300%) and electronics (+40%) sectors_ PLC paper. Our scientific paper assessing the commercially available fluoropolymers based on the 13 criteria used to determine PLC status will be published in few weeks. Waiting the pleasure to exchange with you at the next FFP4EU conference.
