Linde feedback and concerns on the proposed PFAS restriction Linde as one of the refrigerant distributors in Northern Europe is fully committed to minimizing release of PFAS to the environment by continuously investing in circular economy for refrigerants including refrigerants that contain PFAS with the aim to keep refrigerants in a closed circle until they reach the end of their life cycle and move to our waste management partners where a well-controlled process is applied which destroys PFAS by destroying fluorocarbon structure and even enables recovery of hydrofluoric acid for reuse.

(2) Om deze doelstelling te bereiken, heeft de Commissie een Routekaart naar een concurrerende koolstofarme economie in 2050 vastgesteld, waarvan de Raad in zijn conclusies van 17 mei 2011 nota heeft genomen, en die van het Europees Parlement in zijn resolutie van 15 maart 2012 is onderschreven.
