25 Apr 2022 --- The EU is announcing today that it will ban the use of harmful chemical groups like PFAS, bisphenol and PVC by 2030. The political commitment, which has not yet been entered into legislation, is expected to drastically diminish human and environmental health damage and save billions of dollars in associated costs. The European Comission (EC) has released a “Restrictions Roadmap” detailing the mounting evidence that chemicals commonly used in packaging raise common disease rates. It also mentions how industry has continuously sought to prevent or circumvent the legislation, and how the EU’s new pledge will bring long-term financial, environmental and health benefits to Europe.
