Press note: While the Draghi report is concerned about the economic implications from transitioning away from PFAS in Europe, this approach is fundamentally flawed given the health costs and severe health and environmental consequences associated with these substances.
The EDC-Free Europe campaign and the Green 10 – a coalition of ten of the largest environmental organisations and networks active on the European level – urge the EU Commission to deliver on its promise to publish its 2018 plans for a non-toxic environment and to go EDC-free.
A European non-toxic environment strategy is urgently needed to dramatically reduce Europeans’ exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals. Such a strategy is essential for driving innovation and the development of sustainable substitutes including non-chemical solutions, and is a prerequisite for an effective and safe non-toxic circular economy.
