How is FPG Leading the Way in Responsible Manufacturing? 🤔 At the 11th Polish Chemistry Congress, Cedric Triquet highlighted the essential role of fluoropolymers in critical industries. These advanced materials are not bioavailable and are highly stable. However, the FPG group remains committed to addressing any environmental concerns—that’s why FPG is reducing its emissions by the end of 2024 and beyond. Rather than blanket bans, we advocate for evidence-based regulations. By investing in emission management, FPG is reducing waste and minimising its environmental footprint—ensuring critical fluoropolymers remain a resource for the future of Europe’s strategic autonomy. ⬇️ Watch Cedric’s video for the full insights below. #Fluoropolymers #Sustainability #PolskaChemia #PIPCCongress Polska Izba Przemysłu Chemicznego More Information on the Manufacturing Programme: https://lnkd.in/eaE4y2kK

What material can industries trust when failure is not an option, and safety is critical? 🤔 Back in June, Cedric Triquet represented FPG at the 11th Polish Chemistry Congress (6-7 June 2024), organised by the Polish Chamber of Chemical Industry, where he emphasised the unique strengths of fluoropolymers. Unlike other PFAS, fluoropolymers are non-toxic, biocompatible, and incredibly stable, making them indispensable in industries where safety and reliability are paramount—such as medical implants and high-performance industrial applications. These materials stand up to the toughest demands, from life-saving surgeries to rigorous industrial processes. ⚙️ As a key to Europe’s strategic autonomy, fluoropolymers deliver the durability and resilience required across vital industries and infrastructure. At FPG, we’re focused on cutting emissions by 2024 and 2030, while advocating for proportionate science-based regulations, not blanket bans. ⬇️ Watch Cedric’s full insights to understand why fluoropolymers are essential. #Fluoropolymers #Sustainability #PolskaChemia #PIPCCongress #PFAS Polska Izba Przemysłu Chemicznego
