The EU's upcoming PFAS restriction proposal will be one of the most comprehensive chemical interventions in history. The proposal is intended to put an end to the use of the problematic fluorinated substances across sectors – but the question is whether the EU's pace and transition periods are sufficient, and whether Denmark should take the lead with national regulation in specific product areas.

Construction products are among the first product groups where requirements for the phasing out of PFAS are expected, and here the transition period is relatively short. At the same time, we see an EU policy that rolls back environmental and chemical regulations in several places – for example through the so-called chemical omnibus. What does this mean for Denmark's options for action and for the protection of the environment and health?

In this webinar, we focus on:

• The content of the PFAS restriction proposal – and which transition periods are at stake
• Building materials and a possible impact on the construction industry
• Whether Denmark should supplement EU regulation with national measures
• What impact does the current EU rollback policy have on future chemicals regulation?

Time and place: Wednesday, December 3rd from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM online

Speakers:

• Sidsel Dyekjær, ChemSec
• Anna Heebøll, Danish Environmental Protection Agency
• Emil Engel Magnussen, M.Sc. (Construction)

Moderator: Lone Mikkelsen, senior advisor at the Green Transition Denmark.

The webinar is organized by the Green Transition Denmark and provides you with the latest knowledge about PFAS regulation - as well as a discussion of how Denmark best ensures a high level of protection for both workers, citizens and the environment.
