HEJSupport joined more than 60 NGOs across Europe urging EU policymakers to develop robust strategies for phasing out harmful PVC plastics.
Given the significant health and environmental risks associated with PVC, we advocate for a complete phase-out of this material. To align with the EU Zero-Pollution Plan and non-toxic environment initiatives, we call on the European Commission to swiftly implement a strong restriction on the production, use, and marketing of PVC and its additives under the REACH regulation. Furthermore, we urge the European Commission and its member states to push for a global ban on PVC within the framework of the new Global Plastics Treaty.
Evidence clearly shows that safer alternatives to PVC are available for almost all applications.
The European Commission must take immediate action to phase out PVC by 2030.
