EU adopts new measures to support EUDR implementation

The European Commission has adopted a Delegated Act and an Implementing Act to support implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) ahead of its application on December 30, 2026. The measures revise the Regulation's product scope and establish the operational framework for the EUDR Information System, helping businesses prepare for compliance. 

The Delegated Act updates Annex I by removing several products from the Regulation's scope, adding new covered products, and confirming that samples and products used solely for analysis, examination, or testing are excluded. Newly added products will not be subject to the EUDR until December 30, 2027, following review by the European Parliament and the Council. The Implementing Act defines the technical requirements for the EUDR Information System, including simplified reporting for eligible micro and small primary operators and updated API specifications. The Commission also adopted updated EUDR Guidance in all EU languages, completing the simplification package introduced in May 2026. 

Brazil publishes national RoHS regulation  

Brazil has published CONAMA Resolution No. 516, establishing national restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Published on July 10, 2026, the regulation entered into force immediately and aligns Brazil with internationally recognized RoHS requirements by restricting ten hazardous substances above specified concentration limits in homogeneous materials. 

The regulation introduces a phased compliance timeline, with restrictions on PBB and PBDE taking effect immediately, mercury after 180 days, lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium after three years, and the four restricted phthalates after four years. It also establishes a National Register and requires manufacturers and importers to maintain declarations of conformity and supporting technical documentation. Temporary exemptions may be granted for certain applications. 

U.S. bill proposes nationwide ban on PFAS in food packaging

Federal lawmakers have introduced the Keep Food Containers Safe from PFAS Act of 2026 (H.R. 9593), which would prohibit the sale and distribution of food packaging containing intentionally added PFAS in interstate commerce. Introduced on July 6, 2026, the bill has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration. 

If enacted, the legislation would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to make it unlawful to introduce food packaging with intentionally added PFAS into interstate commerce beginning January 1, 2027. The bill defines food packaging as materials intended to come into direct contact with food. The proposal remains in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet advanced beyond introduction. 

U.S. introduces bill to prohibit intentionally added PFAS in cosmetics

The No PFAS in Cosmetics Act (H.R. 9594) has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, proposing a federal prohibition on intentionally added PFAS in cosmetics products. Introduced on July 6, 2026, the bill has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration. 
 
If enacted, the legislation would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to classify cosmetics containing intentionally added PFAS as adulterated, with the prohibition taking effect on January 1, 2027. The bill would also repeal Section 3506 of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 and replace it with the new federal prohibition. If passed, manufacturers, importers, and suppliers of cosmetic products intended for the U.S. market would need to remove intentionally added PFAS from affected products and cosmetic packaging before the implementation date. The bill is currently awaiting further consideration in committee.

ECHA launches SEAC consultation on PFAS restriction and updates use mapping

Rhode Island House Bill H7734 was enacted on June 19, 2026. The bill clarifies enforcement of the Consumer PFAS Ban Act of 2024 by establishing a formal enforcement process, updating penalty provisions, and authorizing the Department of Environmental Management to issue notices of violation and compliance orders. 

Key updates include: 

• Establishes a formal enforcement process for the Consumer PFAS Ban Act.  
• Updates penalty provisions.  
• Authorizes the Department of Environmental Management to issue notices of violation and compliance orders.  
• Creates a temporary exemption process when the use of PFAS is necessary for public health, safety, or environmental protection, and no technically feasible alternative exists. Exemptions may be renewed for up to five years.  

The bill does not change the existing product restrictions or compliance dates. 

Canada updates toxic substances regulations to strengthen PFAS restrictions 

Canada's Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2025 entered into force on June 30, 2026, replacing the Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2012. 

The Regulations strengthen controls on certain toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) by removing or introducing time limits on most of the remaining exemptions for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (LC-PFCAs), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and their salts and precursors. 

Key updates include: 

• Most remaining exemptions for PFOA, LC-PFCAs, and PFOS have been removed or made time-limited.  
• The export of PFOA and LC-PFCAs is now controlled under the Export of Substances on the Export Control List Regulations.  
• Environment and Climate Change Canada has published updated guidance and prohibition summaries to support implementation of the Regulations.

What supply chain compliance news and regulatory updates mean for your business

Regulatory updates are no longer isolated events. They are continuous global shifts that impact how companies design products, source materials, and manage suppliers. Many organizations are no longer reacting to a single regulation but managing overlapping requirements across regions and industries. These changes create pressure across four key areas: 

Product Compliance - Increased scrutiny on substances like PFAS and other restricted chemicals requires deeper visibility into materials and components. Companies must validate compliance at the part level to avoid disruptions and enforcement risk.  

Sustainability - Regulations such as ESPR are accelerating the shift toward circular economy models. Organizations are expected to reduce waste, improve product lifecycle management, and disclose environmental impacts with greater accuracy.  

Responsible Sourcing - Expanding due diligence expectations require stronger supplier engagement. Companies must identify risks deeper in the supply chain and ensure suppliers meet evolving regulatory and ESG standards.  

Data and Reporting - New disclosure requirements and centralized data platforms are raising the bar for traceability and transparency. Companies must collect, validate, and report accurate data across multiple jurisdictions.  

Risk exists at every level of the supply chain, from raw material sourcing to finished product distribution. Without reliable, centralized data, compliance becomes reactive and increases the likelihood of delays, penalties, and reputational damage. 

Organizations that invest in strong data transparency and traceability are better positioned to anticipate regulatory change. With the right systems in place, compliance teams can shift from reactive reporting to proactive risk management and make more confident decisions.
