Europump position on the Essentiality of Fluoropolymers in Industrial Applications

Fluoropolymers are essential in many industrial applications due to their unique properties. Despite their importance, they are often underestimated, particularly in manufacturing non-fluorinated substances. Recognizing them as essential, as recently noted by the ECHA, is a positive step. However, challenges in supply chain communication and differentiation between the most hazardous PFAS and fluoropolymers must be addressed to ensure industrial safety and environmental protection.
