Looking for some weekend reading? Check out our new #PFAS briefing and some great cartoons from @cartoonralph.bsky.social #ToxicFreeFuture #BanPFAS corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c...

This cartoon shows a couple of trees with sad faces. The one in the foreground is labelled “The tree of regulation” and has several fruits which are labelled: human rights, win win, nature, citizens rights and other benefits of regulation. Close by 2 men are crouched around a fallen rotten fruit with a worm protruding. One man is wearing a tie, carrying a briefcase labelled Forever Chemicals Ltd, and wielding a saw. The other man is wearing a tie with EU stars on, and is pointing to the mouldy fruit saying “This will do for PFAS”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

Cartoon shows a big yellow banner saying: Big Chemicals Megacorp. In the image there is a graph on the wall with an upwards axis depicting euros and the graph has a steep upwards trajectory. A suited man on the left is holding a full champagne glass and saying “Bloody well done us!” The suited man on the right looks worried and is saying “The graph isn’t profits; it’s the costs of removing forever chemicals in the environment”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

This cartoon shows a man wearing a tie at a lectern with EU stars, and a chemical diagram on the wall behind him. He is saying: “We have set out a plan for PFAS … which the industry has provided for us.” Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

Cartoon depicting countryside with a polar bear on the left and a turtle, dolphin, and monkey on the right. The polar bear is saying “Good news folks, the persistent, forever chemicals in our bodies are from industrial not consumer uses”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

ICYMI, see our new briefing on #PFAS: Persistent pollution: 10 reasons why a ban only on PFAS in consumer products won’t cut it corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c... Instead we need: ✅ PFAS burden shifted to the polluter ✅ Polluters stop producing these harmful chemicals #ToxicFreeFuture

It is time to make sure that: ✅ #PFAS burden is shifted to the polluter ✅ Polluters stop producing these harmful chemicals ✅ Polluters become liable for huge bill for health damage & environmental clean-up which they have created #ToxicFreeFuture corporateeurope.org/en/2025/05/c...

In this cartoon, there is a fish, several people, several mini-beasts, and a flower. They are all holding up signs saying “Toxic free EU” or “Go toxic free” or similar. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph

It’s time to stand up to greedy polluters which have contaminated our bodies, waters & soils for far too long. We need #ToxicFreeFuture now. And it’s also time for #ToxicFreePolitics too as #BigPolluters have contaminated public decision-making in 🇪🇺 & 🌎. corporateeurope.org/en/chemical-...

Check out our #DeregulationWatch to monitor new developments in the #deregulation agenda, assess what’s at stake, & organise for strong social, environmental, & human rights protections. We need #RulestoProtect now. #ToxicFreeFuture

🤯 Geheime Absprachen von Politik und Konzernen🤬‼️Wir sind alarmierend hohen Konzentrationen von "Ewigkeits-Chemikalien" ausgesetzt, die ernsthafte Gesundheitsschäden verursachen können. 😱 Konzerne geben €€€ aus, um Pläne zu deren Abschaffung hinauszuzögern. Fordern Sie deshalb eine #toxicfreefuture! https://action.wemove.eu/signup/2024-01-ban-forever-chemicals-sharing-DE?akid=s228302..E5DtVV

Nous sommes exposés à des niveaux alarmants de produits chimiques éternels, provoquant de graves problèmes de santé. Les entreprises dépensent €€€ pour retarder leur interdiction. Demandez aux dirigeant·e·s de l’UE d’agir maintenant ! #toxicfreefuture https://action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-01-ban-forever-chemicals-petition-launch-FR?akid=s227521..d1Ox2J

🚨NEW ARTICLE: "Crying wolf pays off for chemicals industry"

🐺 Check out how #GreenDeal's proposals to deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture have been delayed & sidelined by #BigToxics’ ‘cry wolf’ scaremongering tactics

✊ Tackling toxic pollution is urgent. To deliver a #ToxicFreeFuture we need #ToxicFreePolitics. That means careful scrutiny of industry claims on costs. And no #CorporateCapture or #PrivilegedAccess like tomorrow’s industry summit.

https://corporateeurope.org/en/2024/02/crying-wolf

Two men shaking hands without faces, the one on the left had a symbol of a fatory, the one on the left the symbol of the EU and the words: Crying wolf pays off for chemicals industry

We’re exposed to alarmingly high levels of “forever chemicals” causing cancer, infertility & birth defects. Companies are spending €€€ to delay key phase-out plans. Call on European leaders to take action for a #toxicfreefuture! https://action.wemove.eu/signup/2024-01-ban-forever-chemicals-sharing2-EN?akid=s203478..kLWNCw

❗️ Record-breaking pollution with #ForeverChemical TFA, a PFAS, uncovered by @genefutures in France ❗️

RT by @spietikainen: 🩸 #PFAS are everywhere, including the blood of 🇪🇺 officials.

❗ @Green_Europe & @chemsec tested officials and found PFAS in everyone that was tested. Time to prioritise the PFAS restriction and #EU_REACH reform!
