05 Jun 2024 --- Leading up to World Environment Day today, the French Senate approves a PFAS ban proposal in cosmetics, coinciding with the Danish Parliament’s allocation of DKK404 million (US$59 million) for a national action plan to prevent, contain and clean up its PFAS contamination. France’s proposed ban applies to kitchen utensils, ski wax and clothing beginning in 2026, with a general ban on all other textiles by 2030. PFAS are found in band-aids, toilet paper, period products and cosmetics.
