ASERCOM Calls for Exemptions in Universal PFAS Ban Proposal

Recently ASERCOM has formally submitted its position to ECHA on the Universal PFAS ban proposal, focusing primarily on aspects critically relevant to the refrigeration sector.
 
“To progress with decarbonization efforts within our industry, it is imperative to meticulously manage the entire PFAS dossier,” states Marco Masini, President of ASERCOM. “Transitioning to ‘natural refrigerants’ necessitates even more the use of fluoropolymers which are encompassed in this ban; hence, we are advocating for the introduction of exemptions for such materials.”
