The revised Environmental Improvement Plan 2025 announced a commitment to take action on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as ‘forever chemicals’. This included the publication of a PFAS Plan in 2026.
The plan sets out the government’s overall approach to this issue, with actions across 3 main sections:
- understanding PFAS sources
- tackling PFAS pathways
- reducing ongoing exposure to PFAS
The plan reflects the government’s commitment to protect public health and the environment while supporting innovation and economic growth.
