FESI, together with ESF, ETSA and EURATEX has co-signed a position on the PFAS Restriction in Personal Protective Equipment, Protective Textiles and Medical Textiles. The signatory associations share the objective of restricting PFAS. Avoidable PFAS applications must be reduced, environmental emissions must fall, and unnecessary exposure must be prevented. The issue is not whether Europe should move away from avoidable uses of PFAS. The issue is how Europe can do this without weakening protection, legal certainty, enforcement and European industrial capacity.
