Comment on Proposed Restriction of PFAS May 25, 2023 Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA) We, Japan Fluoropolymers Industry Association (JFIA), think that fluoropolymers should be distinguished from the proposed restriction of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which collectively regulates more than 10,000 of organofluorine compounds (PFAS) on the grouping basis.

Characteristics of the welding industry in Europe UPDATE for 2020 - 2021 Main markets using welding and cutting of metals for construction Building and infrastructures - metallic construction Transport equipment - Train - Automotive - Ships - Aircraft Energy - Oil and gas processes - Pipe lines and pipe mills - Power plants (Coal, gas, nuclear) - Wind mills - Petrochemicals industry Equipment for other industrial processes (food industry, storage, tanks...), waste treatment Other mechanical equipment: earth moving, agricultural equipment, military equipment, construction of various machines Maintenance and repair Hobby Dynamics of the welding market Main TRENDS : - Automation of welding (and cutting) operations - growth of robotics sector - Lack of skilled welders - need for more trained welders / and more training - Construction of lighter structures with the use of higher-strength and lighter-weight materials, particularly steels and aluminium - Demands of higher levels of reliability and higher-quality requirements. - Developing countries with industrialisation and rapid urbanisation - Improving safety for welders / welding processes with less emission of fumes / individual protection / fumes extraction system - Welding 4.0 / data collection and treatment to improve productivity, repeatability and quality - Impact of European Directives on eco-Design , circular economy, EMF - Acceleration of energy transition ( energy , transportation, construction , manufacturing , heavy industry , agricultural sectors will be affected) - Long term steel consumption in Europe Specific situation of the welding Industry in Europe in 2020 In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic slashed the welding industry and the overall economic outlook across the EU .
