Significant step towards ambitious emissions reduction target
We are pleased to announce that within the framework of the industry’s voluntary Manufacturing Programme, Fluoropolymer Product Group (FPG) members, including AGC Chemicals Europe, Ltd., have successfully met the first reduction target for non-polymeric PFAS residues from polymerisation aid technology. Specifically, members of the Programme have:
For Air, achieved a reduction of these emissions in their 2024 annual average emission factors below their target of 0.009%;
For Water, while not all European fluoropolymers manufacturers have met the 2024 annual average emission factor for the emissions target of 0.001%, they all met that ambitious target at the end of 2024, therefore guaranteeing these emissions below 0.001% for 2025.
This is in line with the Manufacturing Programme for European manufacturing sites agreed by the above-mentioned European fluoropolymers manufacturers in September 2023.
