In the final hours of #PlasticsTreaty talks, the Chair has dropped a text. "This isn’t a treaty to end plastic pollution — it’s a gift to polluters." It's completely unacceptable. So, what’s next? @melissabluesky.bsky.social explains.

EU vs #Toxics
➡️ New rules for safer #Toys in the EU 🎉
🇪🇺 The Regulation will prohibit the use of chemicals that affect the hormonal system ( #EndocrineDisruptors) &
ban dangerous bisphenols & #foreverchemicals #PFAS
🇺🇳 High time to make it global! #PlasticsTreaty
#BecauseHormonesMatter #EDCFree
Tomorrow is the final negotiation on the revised EU Toy safety law, and a crucial opportunity to prevent harmful chemicals from being present in children’s toys.
The law must include restrictions on #bisphenols and PFAS, the #foreverchemicals, to properly protect children’s health.
The hearings of the climate case #SaulvsRWE just ended in Hamm🇩🇪.
By reaffirming the #PolluterPays principle, the Court shifted the legal dial, not just in Germany but worldwide: the era of holding major polluters accountable for climate harms has begun: www.ciel.org/news/rwe-vs-...
Today, @ec.europa.eu launched its #CleanIndustrialDeal
But how "clean" can the deal really be when it FAILS to
⚠️ consider toxicity and pollution
🏭 address #plastics & petrochemicals, one of the highest emitting and polluting sectors
Our reaction: rethinkplasticalliance.eu/news/without...
👏 Great news!
🇫🇷 Today French MPs voted to #BanPFAS from consumer products like clothing and cosmetics.
Over 140,000 citizens called on their MPs to back the ban & this is a huge win for the protection of people’s health & environment in France.

Logo of Corporate Europe Observatory at the top left corner, at the bottom left corner there is the URL www.corporateeurope.org and at the bottom right one the logos of social media networks instagram, Facebook, mastodon and bluesky. The word “Report” is highlighted and then followed by the bigger words: “Chemical reaction”, followed by the subtitle, in smaller font: “Inside the corporate fight against the EU’s PFAS restriction” At the right of the words is an infinity mathematical sign, an Erlenmeyer flask and the representation of PFAS molecules. The background of the image is green.
Our new report shows how EU's proposal to restrict #PFAS is at risk of being hijacked, despite all evidence of its disastrous consequences
We need a lobby firewall to protect PFAS decision-making from corporate lobbying

Very interesting read and definitely worth your time. Industry actors employ false, dishonest and misleading claims to block or delay actions banning or restricting #PFAS.
The #Plastics industry is a major player here.

#PFAS, or forever chemicals, are widespread.
Check out our new report which shows how EU’s proposed PFAS restriction is at serious risk of being hijacked by corporate lobbying.

Many are pushing for a "start and strengthen" approach to the #PlasticsTreaty. But this strategy comes with a number of risks.
⚠️ As @helionordeanzizu.bsky.social warns, a treaty without a solid foundation could fail over time.
