The European Environment Agency (EEA) has released a briefing on PFAS pollution in textiles, stressing the need to reduce PFAS use to promote recycling and a circular economy. PFAS, commonly used for waterproofing and durability, are environmentally persistent. The EU is restricting their use to improve textile reuse and recycling. While alternatives exist for most textiles, some categories lack sustainable options. PFAS pollution hampers circular economy efforts, leading to landfilling or incineration, and separating PFAS from textiles at the end of life is rarely practiced.
