Inspiration about handling the PFAS universe through otherʹs practical experiences. |
How companies address this issue, to keep updated with authority actions. |
The most important thing was probably the approach to analyzing PFAS and that it is possible to do without it being prohibitively expensive. I also got a better understanding of why identifying PFASes are so complicated for in different types of products. |
That when companies decide to do better, there is no obstacle for reaching the goals. |
Att det är möjligt att substituera PFAS, även i elektronik |
That we are on track with our PFAS understanding within our company. |
the work on testing |
The different types of PFAS. The regulations so far and the upcoming changes that are expected |
Två things. 1. That it is possible with the analytical methods existing today, to enforce the upcoming uPFAS restriction. 2. That there are all ready alternatives for many of the uses for PFAS and that substitution is possible. |
Possibilities to substitute PFAS in electrical items. |
That there is hope and that there are alternatives out there. Tools and tips on how to tackle the problem. |
om analysmetoder och workflow, att det är möjligt att substituera, att den breda definitionen av PFAS att fullt relevant då FTS bildas och dess halter stiger i miljön. |
A general picture of PFAS; and its multidimensional use |
Research projects |
That substitutions are possible and experts are optimistic about that! :) |
it is possible to substitute PFAS and it is not so complicated. |
The Good News Show seems prioritized |
That its important to involve procurement and set clear goals |
Tools for PFAS substitution, experience of PFAS |
We all need to start the process |
Methods for analysis |
Fick bekräftat att omställning tar mer tid än vad folk tror |
The importance of addressing production, consumption and the need for internalisation of costs; i.e. the polluter pays principle. |
How complex it is to define PFAS, that there are ways to analyze PFAS in products and that we have to keep up the work with minimizing sources of PFAS. |
Experts |
Challenges related to wide spread use of these substances e.g. in electronic. Other requirements may so the replacements difficult (e.g. flammability) |
A better overview and that some companies have got far along with phasing out PFAS from their products. |
Test procedure for PFAS |
That PEFAs is complicated and some PEFAs is not so bad |
Water and food are the main exposures. |
Att det finns fler definitioner av pfas än vad jag visste och hur pass oklart det fortfarande är. Även hur man kan använda sig av F-tot analys vid utfasningen. |
about proposed 3-step workflow |
That PFAS is really everywhere and that knowledge is the key to change. And that there are different legislations/definitions in different countries. |
Examples about substitution |
The Nordic companies are trying to avoid PFAS and the journey is very difficult, but it is possible. Also, its is possible to analyse if products and articles are in compliance with the coming broad PFAS restrictions . |
The challenges in analysing PFAS in different materials |
Komplexiteten, Skillnader i definition och mellan länder, |
testing methodologies |
The development of analytical methods of PFAS. |
Analysing methods |
the need to bring the different actors together to find solutions |
A very important message I took home with me was that there is commitment and support from the Swedish government to support the uPFAS ban proposal. In industry many voices share doubt that it will actually happen, but contents from this conference and especially the ministers opening statements strongly indicate that the proposal will go through, even if with derogations |
Tools for substitution |
practical experience from various stakeholders (companies and others( |
Some insight in the challenges that companies face when they start phasing out PFAS. |
Inspirations from ʺForerunnersʺ from different industries, practical information on analytical PFAS methods, networks and tools |
Networking and some presentations |
The whole conference was very well performed |
relevant presenters |
Introduction to PFAS was great. |
Good quality presentations, in all aspects. Good venue. One of the best arrangements in this area of business I have attended. |
Almost everything, it was a wonderful conference. I loved the conferencier, ha added a much needed note of fun to an otherwise dense topic. The talks were wonderful, the starting talk from Prof. Ian Cousins was truly fantastic and I was very positively surprised by the talk from Louisa Raith Sorensen of Coop Denmark |
The variety of topics concerning PFAS! |
Mycket bra föreläsare och konferencier |
The moderator was super and made the topic more interesting |
the different speakers per topic |
Stockholm University presenter was the best. Analysis team with Rise, KEMI and uni, |
The spirit, the speakers, the food and people attending the conference. Erik, the conferee, did a great job. |
Info re testing of PFAS. Communication with others at the conference. |
Overall very good and interesting conference. Well put together. Despite comfortable chairs I didn´t fall a sleep, even after lunch, that´s how interesting an inspiring this was. Good starting point with explaining the complexity and different definitions of PFAS. Very good with examples from companies about their journey in phasing out PFAS, lessons learned, how to use simple analysis methods as a starting point for discussions with suppliers when suspected PFAS was found in products. |
optimistisk anda, superbra moderator, tydliga exempel på hur man kan gå tillväga. |
The moderator was super good! |
info about different projects |
Good mix of different subjects, inspirational, good way to network and get to know other working with PFAS. Central location |
Good discussions, Great moderator, Comprehensive programme |
Overview test methods presented by Robin Vestergren |
Everything was good :) Nice atmosphere, interesting topics, good speakers |
All |
Discussion on the pfas topics am |
plats och fika/mat, nätverkande samt konferensier |
The open exchange, the desire to approach the problem in a broad manner, and opportunities to start and strengthen. |
The moderator was very good, creating a very pleasant day for all attending the conference, interesting topics, exciting to meet people from other nordic countries, good with a possibility to participate in a workshop, the conference centre is nice and had good service |
The comprehensive overview |
All content fitted together nicely |
I think it was very well organized which made the whole experience very positive. Also I think the lecturers were very good and that they were from different sectors enhanced the PFAS problem from different angles. The moderator was very good, he was setting a good atmosphere throughout the conference. |
mix of different topics om the Fields of PFAS |
Setting the Scene |
Ian Cousins |
Att få höra andras erfarenheter, både bra och dåliga. Jag uppskattade att det var väldigt öppet, transparent och lättsamt. Bra och rolig stämning trots det allvarliga ämnet! |
I think it was a good balance between theory and practice. |
It was very good to get an overview and also perspectives from different angles (authority, researchers and retail) |
learning about the trends |
The combination of presentations from authorities, academia and good examples from companies. The moderator Erik Mattsson was very good in leading through the whole day |
The variety of speakers |
Allt var professionellt och inspirerande |
all presenters were very good and clear in their message |
Moderator, the timing was perfect handled. All presentations was on a good level and informative, Good quality of sound. The possibility to send questions during presentation |
the positive atmosphere - looking for solution rather than getting stuck with the problems |
The combination of input from academia, from authorities, and from industry. |
Good and balanced content, a lot of information in one day, speakers kept their time (i.e. no delays in the agenda). Good lunch :) |
chemical analysis, practical examples, experience from industry, organisation of the conference and managing it |
Good selection of speakers. Good food and fika. |
We could have used more info on how ʺteknikföretag ʺ can work with substitutions. This was a bit focused on how consumer products work. |
I did not like the NGO mindset from ChemSec on companies being lazy or not working on the phase out. It is not a topic of them to give input on since they have no idea how hard some companies actually ARE working with phasing out PFAS. |
Information on human health effects of PFAS to reminds us the reasons of bans and to keep pushing company to moving forward (even thought many of the participants are aware of the issues) |
1) A glimpse of the restrictions, where are we today, what happens 2024, what follows after that? 2) How-to PFAS in practice by utilizing said TOOLS. |
I would have liked to hear more about legislation in other countries. |
More information on what the new legislation will (probably) look like and a rough timeline for when it might come into force. |
Not so much focus and not tailored for inspectors. But really interesting and inspiring! |
A realistic view about the real world of product sourcing, EU competitiveness, durability of PFAS alternatives its benefits and shortcomings,... In summary, a more honest and realistic picture. |
Some presentations could have been more focussed on PFAS issues and less on general presentation. |
Maybe there could have been a bit more debate and direct questions from the public, maybe there could be someone from the industrial sector speaking of the challenges to phase out PFAS (since there have been so many comments on the upcoming legislation). |
It would have been nice to know more about the waste stream and treatment methods that are being looked into. |
The production, waste management, and internalisation of costs. |
More balance, less halleluja. At least one seminar on fire fighting products. |
Even more overview of production of PFASs and more about where we find them in the environment. But you only had 1 day.. |
More attendees, detailed examples and longer period |
Jag hade förväntat mig mer riktlinjer och mer info om förslaget till restriktioner. vilka PFAS som är reglerade och vilka typer ska regleras, tidslinjer |
too much details about analysing methods |
Iʹd like to see more about how to manage data from suppliers. It was presented that there are legal obligations for suppliers to inform customers about presence of chemicals, but in reality this does not always happen. If that information flow becomes more effective and accurate, it would reduce need for expensive testing and increase confidence in whether or not articles/products/materials are in compliance with regulations |
send the presentations in advance |
A bit more time for questions from the audience would have been nice |
There was no ventilation in the lecture hall, after 30 minutes the air got very stuffy and too warm. |
Dagen var för lång. Eftermiddagen var kämpig, svårt att hålla koncentrationen efter all information och med brist på syre i lokalen. Jag tyckte synd om föreläsarna under eftermiddagen. |
The ventilation in the room was poor, it got really hot towards the end of the day. |
Making the conference available for more people, especially from industry, trading companies. |
The temperature in the conference room to high! |
Större lokal så att eventet kan bli tillgängligt för fler. Det behöver inte vara så påkostat, hellre att fler nås av informationen. |
First mail after the conference by the organisators was expected to be the presentations, not a poll |
Ventilation vas bad, it was warm in the conference hall, No tap water next to the toilets |
The venue or meeting room. Terribly hot in the afternoon sessions |
Lokalen kunde ha varit större. Blev fort dålig luft och varmt. |
The chairs in the conference room could have been better with support for writing pads or for computers. The chair was not comfortable to sit for a whole day, may be not good for persons with backproblems. It could have been better with if all the toilets had sinks for washing hands or had sinks in the neighbourhood areas. |
Possibility to wash hands :) |
The room - air condition and windows. |
the temperature in the meeting room |
Maybe too much content from some speakers that had to rush through their presentation (e.g. Chemsec) |
longer fika breaks to get more discussion time with the audience |
The air in the conference hall. :) |
Nothing |
