Question 6597 — industry

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries to the consequences of the application of Law No. 2025-188 of February 27, 2025 relating to the progressive ban on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in particular with regard to technical textile membranes for exclusively industrial use. This provision raises questions legitimate, in particular from several industrial players in the territory of Mr. MP, in the field of flexible composite materials, which notably design membranes used in the construction sector (building envelopes and roofs, solar protection, etc.). These membranes, mainly composed of polymer matrices and technical woven reinforcements, do not correspond to consumer textile products common, nor for domestic use and present a distinct health and environmental risk profile. However, the absence of a precise legal definition of the term "textile products" in the aforementioned law generates legal uncertainty, likely to lastingly hinder the activity of this industrial sector, despite its strong commitment to innovation, sustainability and decarbonization. To date, there is no elsewhere, there is no viable alternative to the fluoropolymers used to guarantee the technical performance required in these specific applications. He asks whether the Government intends, within the framework of future implementing decrees, to explicitly specify that technical textile membranes for exclusively industrial use are excluded from the scope of the ban provided for in Article 1 of the law.
