Invitation to comment on draft report assessing alternatives to PFOS (deadline 10 June 2026)

The Stockholm Convention Secretariat (via the POPRC-21 follow-up page) posted an invitation for stakeholders to submit comments on a draft report assessing alternatives to perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), its salts and PFOSF, including draft recommendations intended for consideration by the Conference of the Parties. This consultation is relevant for organizations relying on PFOS-related acceptable purposes/specific exemptions or planning substitution, as stakeholder input can influence the recommendations that may later affect exemption/acceptable-purpose expectations under the Convention.
