Chemours Fights EU’s “Forever Chemicals” Ban
Facing liability for PFAS pollution in several European countries, Chemours is actively lobbying the European Commission against a proposed ban on the production and use of these chemicals. The company has engaged in numerous high-level meetings with the Commission, exceeding other corporate lobbying efforts. Chemours’ lobbying efforts also include attempts to coordinate with other affected industries to oppose the restrictions. These actions highlight the significant industry resistance to proposed EU-wide PFAS restrictions, with Chemours playing a central role.
