Fantastic to start to hear from lawyers working with #PFAS affected communities in Belgium, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, France as well as Robert Billot who took on DuPont in US and started anti PFAS litigation

2 powerful documentaries on #PFAS showing now, looking at 3Ms toxic legacy in firefighting foams, in Australia and France (and around the world), as well as other PFAS, in other products, by other companies, and how communities are confronting this

In European Parliament where MEPs and civil society including PFAS-affected communities are discussing the fight for justice and for a #PFAS ban

‪ Time for politicians to recognise that the chemicals industry needs to not only decarbonise (and properly, not with fake climate solutions such as hydrogen and CCS) but also to detoxify - to really stop producing harmful substances. Hope to hear MEPs picking this up in the ENVI debate

Cartoon depicting two red buttons and a finger about to press one of them. The title reads: Corporations right now... and the left button says: business as usual carry on contaminating. The right button says: make products that put people and the planet first! The finger is about to press the left button. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

Check out EEB's important work in critiquing chemicals industry's lobbying and how they risk weakening existing protections, let alone strengthening rules aimed at tackling harmful chemicals. See thread below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Interesting study. We found poor levels of transparency among many PermReps when we investigated lobbying on #PFAS #ForeverChemicals in our #ChemicalReaction report. corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

The #PFAS restriction mustn’t be hijacked by industry. But to deliver a comprehensive ban, we will need a new approach to PFAS decision-making. The Commission needs to stop the #ForeverLobbying & deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture. Read the report & take action corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

The #PFAS pollution tap needs turning off. As the #ForeverLobbying Project shows, the costs of #ForeverPollution environmental clean-up could run into the trillions, even if the technology existed (which it doesn’t). foreverpollution.eu/lobbying

Our survey of 15 Commission DGs on #PFAS lobbying showed it is: ⚠️ Relying on inadequate transparency tools ⚠️ Not monitoring even for ‘balance’ in meetings ⚠️ Unaware of risks of corporate lobbying ⚠️ No rules in place to specifically protect PFAS file corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

We also look in-depth at the role of the Commission, only an observer at this stage of #PFAS process, but: 🇪🇺 Actively meeting with industry lobbyists 🇪🇺 Offering them advice & support 🇪🇺 Sending encouraging messages to industry 🇪🇺 Talking-up a weaker ban? corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

On the proposed #PFAS ban the report exposes: 🧪 Most active lobbyists 🧪 Biggest sectors 🧪 Massive increases in EU lobby spending corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

It’s been a year in the making & is based on analysis of 600 documents. Today @corporateeurope is launching the report 'Chemical reaction' which exposes the intense lobby efforts of the #PFAS industry to keep forever polluting. #ForeverLobbying corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...
