RIWA-Rijn signs the Ban PFAS Manifesto

RIWA-Rijn is pleased to announce that it has joined as a co-signatory of the Ban PFAS Manifesto, an international petition urging prompt and decisive action against PFAS pollution. The manifesto emphasizes clear, scientific evidence that PFAS — known as “forever chemicals” — have contaminated the environment, food chains, and human bodies globally, posing serious risks.

By signing, RIWA-Rijn endorses the manifesto’s key demands: a blanket ban on PFAS production and use in the EU by 2030, swift remediation of contaminated soils and drinking water, and applying the polluter-pays principle.

The persistence and spread of PFAS threaten ecosystems and public health — and substitutes already exist.
