⚖️#PFAS: Legal action is long overdue
🇪🇺 EU has failed to adequately regulate PFAS and protect our health and environment
⏰️Delaying decisive action is no longer an option
🚨Now is the time to #BanPFAS and modernise #REACH
sustainableviews.com/legal-a… @FT @sustainviews
🚨Breaking news!
💶100 billion a year would be the cost to eliminate #PFAS from the environment in Europe
This is the cost of inaction!
Instead of leaving the #foreverchemicals industry tap open, the solution is to #BanPFAS

⚠️Also today:
❓How the EU's proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbyists?

PFAS, or forever chemicals, are widespread.
Check out our new report which shows how EU’s proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying
Read it in our website and sign the petition for a #ToxicFreeEurope
ALT Logo of Corporate Europe Observatory at the top left corner, at the bottom left corner there is the URL www.corporateeurope.org and at the bottom right one the logos of social media networks instagram, Facebook, mastodon and bluesky. The word “Report” is highlighted and then followed by the bigger words: “Chemical reaction”, followed by the subtitle, in smaller font: “Inside the corporate fight against the EU’s PFAS restriction” At the right of the words is an infinity mathematical sign, an Erlenmeyer flask and the representation of PFAS molecules. The background of the image is green.
🔊We are many voices calling on EU leaders to tackle this problem at the root:
❌Stop fueling corporate greed #ForeverLobbying
✅#BanPFAS is the solution to this public health crisis
