English Translation: Global Regulatory Trends and Accelerated Development of Alternatives for 'Forever Chemicals' PFAS

Legislation banning the use of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), often called 'forever chemicals,' is accelerating in developed countries like the EU and the US, with a turning point expected around 2026–2027.

The translation emphasizing key points is as follows:

"Legislation banning the use of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) is accelerating in developed countries such as the EU and the US, with a turning point expected around 2026–2027.

France is pushing to ban the manufacturing and sale of products containing PFAS starting in 2026, while the EU is reviewing comprehensive regulatory proposals. The market for PFAS alternative materials in the battery industry is projected to grow to $2 billion by 2036."
