#STOPPFAS
THE STOP PFAS COALITION IS A FINALIST FOR THE EARTHSHOT PRIZE 2026!
A new step in the fight against PFAS!
Nicolas Thierry, author of the PFAS law, is among the finalists for The Earthshot Prize 2026, a global prize that annually recognizes major initiatives in favor of the environment.
This appointment recognizes the collective mobilization we have undertaken against perennial pollutants: scientists, associations, NGOs, lawyers, journalists, elected officials, whistleblowers, and citizens. It is their commitment that has brought this issue to the forefront, broken the silence, and led to a major legislative advancement adopted by the French parliament in 2025.
FEBRUARY 2005: FRANCE PASSES THE "PFAS LAW", ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS IN THE WORLD
After more than 2 years of hard work, thanks to the exceptional mobilization of a broad coalition of NGOs, scientists, activists, investigative journalists and elected officials, the PFAS law has finally been definitively passed in the National Assembly.
It calls for a ban on PFAS in cosmetics, clothing textiles and ski wax, as well as the control of PFAS in drinking water and puts in place the "polluter-pays" levy, to make the industries that release PFAS participate in the effort to clean up pollution.
