This week’s Podcast Short looks at a feature on EU REACH and debate over potential end-of-life restrictions in a pair of proposed TSCA significant new use rules (SNURs).
Topping the headlines this week is a special feature from senior correspondent Clelia Oziel, who looks at the EU REACH regulation nearly 20 years after it was adopted in late 2026 to understand why current reform efforts have stalled, and where there might be room for compromise ahead.
In the US, North America managing editor Kelly Franklin looks at why industry is expressing concern about potential end-of-life restrictions included in proposed SNURs for two mixed metal oxides used in batteries.
Other top stories discussed include:
- Sweden’s plan to ban PFAS from several consumer products as early as 2028;
- a proposed QR code option for California’s Proposition 65 warnings; and
- a draft bill in Thailand that would establish a dedicated process for environmental cases.
