3 days agoJust banning PTFE outright isn’t gonna go well, it just has way too many useful applications. As a lubricant for example (tho fully enclosed uses there are def preferred obviously), or for uses where the fact that it’s practically non-reactive is very much important. Phasing out PTFE coatings for non stick pans&things like that? Sure, that we can do. Basically… reduce it’s use to applications where it actually makes sense to do so&where there is no such thing as a practical “just use something else that doesn’t share the same environmental issues!”
Yeah 😅
