Update on the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) restriction process   - More than 5 600 scientific and technical comments were received from interested third parties submitted during the six-month consultation on the restriction dossier held in 2023.   - The input from the consultation helps the Dossier Submitters to progressively update and improve the information on PFAS in the form of a Background Document. It also helps to identify uses that were not yet specifically named in the initial restriction dossier, incorporating these into existing sector assessments or creating additional sectors, as necessary.   Examples of newly identified uses are: • Sealing applications: a broad range of fluoropolymer uses in consumer, professional and industrial applications, including seals, pipe lining, gaskets, valve parts, etc. • Technical textiles: uses of PFAS in for example high-performance membranes, medical applications that are not covered in medical devices, outdoor technical textiles (like tarps). • Printing applications: permanent parts and consumables for printing applications. • Other medical applications (e.g., packaging and excipients for pharmaceuticals).   Fluoropolymers are one example of a group of PFAS with high interest for stakeholders. The consultation has brought further insight into the availability of alternatives for certain uses of these polymers, technical and organisational measures to minimise their emissions in the environment and potential socio-economic impacts of a ban of their manufacture, placing on the market and use. Specific attention is being given to this group by all actors in the opinion development process.   - The opinion development work will further progress during 2025. A consultation to be held later in the process will provide an opportunity for all interested third parties to provide relevant information regarding socio economic aspects to be considered.   More: "Progress update on the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) restriction process", 20 November 2024 https://lnkd.in/eVrEkHUQ   ECHA's PFAS restrictions main page: https://lnkd.in/dfgkRCD   USA: "Almost all our raingear and waders are treated with a durable water repellent (DWR). These coatings contain so-called “forever chemicals” that will be banned from sale or distribution in California and many other states by the end of 2025" https://lnkd.in/edNr9HgT 

Progress Update shared by #ECHA on PFAS restriction proposal. The consultation input is helping Dossier Submitters to update and improve information on #PFAS, identifying new uses such as sealing applications, technical textiles, printing, and medical applications. These are being added to sector assessments or new sectors as needed. Alternative restriction options to a full ban or a ban with time-limited derogations are being considered. These could allow continued manufacture, market placement, or use of #PFAS, especially where a ban might cause disproportionate socio-economic impacts. This is relevant for uses like batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysers. The proportionality of each alternative will be evaluated against the initial restriction options, with all updated information contributing to the ECHA committees' ongoing evaluation. The assessment is currently underway for the use of PFAS in certain industrial applications e.g. batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers. The same assessment will also be carried out for other sectors, for example medical devices and semiconductors, provided that such information has been brought forward in the consultation. In addition, information has been submitted in the consultation that may form a basis for alternative restriction options for e.g. fluoropolymers in manufacturing, service life and end of life, while still adhering to the purpose of the proposal to minimise emissions to the environment

This new state-of-the-art granular sludge based ANAMMOX 2.0 has been successfully applied in the municipal sector with projects leads in Spain, Netherlands and Germany. N2O emission in biological wastewater treatment is generally attributed to ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and heterotrophic denitrification (HDN). As anammox bacteria are known not to emit any N2O, these bacteria have the potential in playing an important role in mitigation of GHG emission from biological wastewater treatment systems. The new improved ANAMMOX 2.0 biomass retention system promotes the formation of dense highly concentrated anammox granular biomass and selectively washes out any undesired flocculent biomass.
