The Danish Environmental Protection Agency published two reports on PFAS alternatives in January 2024:
- PFAS and fluorine-free alternatives in lubricants and construction products
The aim of this project was to assess the use of PFAS-based lubricants and construction products along with any fluorine-free alternatives. Additionally, data on emissions, economics and social impacts of a full ban of all PFAS within these sectors have been evaluated.
This report goes beyond the Universal PFAS restriction proposal and the content of the Annex XV restriction dossier as it provides more granular data on substance identification, technical description of uses and emissions (broken down by multiple environmental compartments). This recognises that the Annex XV dossier covers all potential uses of PFASs and thus through necessity works to a higher level of disaggregation.

- PFASs and PFAS free alternatives in the Electronics and Energy sector
Preceding the Universal PFAS restriction proposal (Annex XV report), the use of PFASs in the electronics and energy sectors was assessed and PFAS-free alternatives were identified. Additionally, data on emissions, economics and social impacts in these sectors, were evaluated and summarized.
This report contains publicly available information and information received from stakeholders.
The content may be different from the information provided in the Annex XV dossier.
