So much for being green

While companies are banging on about how green and circular they are, Intel, IBM, and Nvidia have joined together with industrial materials businesses to fight US clampdowns on “forever chemicals.”

Forever chemicals are slow to break down in the environment and often kill life and there is pressure on various governments to reduce their production (and work out ways to remove them).

However, not Intel, IBM, and Nvidia which have broadened their opposition to new rules and bans of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances [PFAS]. The substances have been found in the blood of 97 percent of Americans, according to the US government.
