Phasing out harmful chemicals in city products

The City of Stockholm has mapped the use of hazardous chemicals such as PFAS, bisphenols, and phthalates in its procurements and products, aiming to phase them out to reduce environmental spread and resident exposure. While success has been achieved in removing them from items like fire extinguishers and preschool flooring, they remain difficult to avoid in electronics and construction materials. The city will continue this effort by implementing stricter procurement requirements and phasing out existing materials.
