PFAS Are Becoming A Litmus Test For Material Cycles – Mini-Series Part I

Focus on substance data, recyclability and supply chains

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are not merely a matter of substance regulation. They influence the choice of materials, recyclability, spare parts, waste treatment and the economic viability of recycled materials.

PFAS is therefore a cross-cutting theme in this mini-series. The overall regulatory framework is outlined in the overview article «The circular economy becomes binding product legislation». The article «The Digital Product Passport and ESPR are transforming product management» explores the requirements for product data and the Digital Product Passport in greater depth.
