This procedure focuses on updating EU chemical laws to eliminate 'forever pollutants'—persistent chemicals that do not break down in nature. It aims to protect public health and the environment by ensuring that water remains drinkable and soil stays fertile and healthy.

The changes will primarily affect the chemical industry, plastic manufacturers, and fertilizer producers. It seeks to implement stricter safety standards to prevent hazardous substances from contaminating ecosystems and human food chains.
