Water Europe has unveiled a new Position Paper on PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals,” to address the urgent need for clarity and action on one of Europe’s most pressing environmental challenges. This initiative aligns with the European Commission’s priorities under President Ursula von der Leyen, as Commissioner Jessika Roswall and Vice President Stéphane Séjourné work to accelerate reforms to REACH regulations.

Durk Krol, Water Europe’s Executive Director, emphasized the importance of the paper: 

“We are issuing nine recommendations for a Europe free from toxic PFAS. In line with our vision for a Water-Smart Society, we believe this position will enhance water safety and sustainability while minimizing socio-economic and ecological burdens.”
