About the partnership

The Danish EPA’s PFAS Partnership with Industry (2026–27) is offered by the Danish EPA under the Ministry of Environment and Gender Equality and forms part of the government’s national PFAS action plan.

The partnership is led by Danish Technological Institute in collaboration with inVirke, Dansk Standard, and Apeiron – and with Danish Industry and The Danish Chamber of Commerce in the steering group. The purpose of the partnership is to enable a platform for collaboration in industries where PFAS is not easily replaced, to accelerate phase-out and minimization through a shared effort.
