📒 Publication of the action plan 2026-2030 on endocrine disruptors
✍️ Ministry of Ecological Transition and the Ministry of Health - October 2026

1️⃣ SUMMARY
This national plan outlines 6 priorities in 20 actions on endocrine disruptors (p. 2). It follows the two national strategies (SNPE 1 in 2014 and SNPE 2 in 2019) according to the document « Priorities » (p. 3). The priorities focus on supporting local stakeholders, training and information, protecting and caring for the most exposed and vulnerable populations, regulatory levers, monitoring the impacts of EDs and mobilising research and expertise stakeholders in a « One Health » approach (p. 2-4). The mentioned public includes notably pregnant women and young children (p. 5), youth (p. 14), overseas populations (p. 11) and workers (p. 20-21). The deadlines for deliverables range from 2026 to 2031 (p. 18, 26).
2️⃣ WHAT TO REMEMBER
1️⃣ A tool-based plan for monitoring. Each action indicates its leads, associated stakeholders, deliverables and their deadline (e.g. p. 6-7). A final table associates one or two indicators with each action or sub-action (p. 41-44). Status: deliverables planned, mostly dated between 2026 and 2031 ; several are « ongoing » or depend on the European agenda (e.g. p. 23)
2️⃣ A clear local anchoring. The plan aims to systematically promote a health-environment axis in local health contracts (CLS) (p. 5), support the actions of PMI (p. 5-6), and announces a practical guide « Health baskets » from the RfVS (planned for 2028, p. 6) and a plan for disseminating RecoCrèches tools (planned for 2027, p. 7).
3️⃣ Regulation and monitoring. The revision of the European regulation on toys, concluded in April 2025, generically prohibits substances of very high concern (SVHC) for human health of category 1 or 2 in toys and their components, with an application 54 months after the publication of the regulation (finding, p. 22). Since January 2026, new parameters, including PFAS and bisphenol A, are mandatorily integrated into the health control of tap water and certain packaged waters (finding, p. 30). A list of SVHC by use, established with the support of AI, is planned for the first half of 2027 (p. 27)..
3️⃣ TO ACT
1️⃣ Use existing resources for public procurement (case 2: explicitly cited existing tools). The document cites the sustainable purchasing portal, the site La Clause Verte, the RAPIDD network, the guide for the substitution of plastics and the guide for responsible purchasing with the European Ecolabel (p. 8).
2️⃣ Integrate an environmental health axis in the CLS (case 1: action explicitly planned). The plan aims to systematically promote an environmental health axis in the CLS with measures aimed at reducing exposures to SVHC; a census of these CLS is planned for 2027 (DGS, ARS) (p. 5-6). Health Practices Suggestion: check if this axis is included in the CLS of your territory.
3️⃣ Identify funding for a local project (case 3: preparation for an announced action). The document indicates that the health environment project calls from CPAM (FNPEIS), the FIR from ARS, national project calls (e.g. SNANC) and the Zero Expo project calls from INCa can be mobilised to finance local actions in environmental health (p. 6).
4️⃣ 3 PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
1️⃣ Are plastic containers prohibited in collective catering? According to the document, Article 28 of the EGalim law prohibits since 1 January 2025 food containers for cooking, reheating and service in plastic in school, university or childcare settings for children under 6 years old; for communities with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, the entry into force is scheduled for 1 January 2028 (p. 10, note 12). Article 77 of the AGEC law provides for the end of these containers by 1 January 2025 at the latest in paediatrics, obstetrics and maternity services, local perinatal centres and PMI services (p. 10).
2️⃣ Which service should couples with fertility issues or women with pregnancy pathologies be directed to? The PREVENIR platforms offer consultations with an environmental diagnosis and targeted prevention advice (p. 20). The centres in Île-de-France (Reprotoxif, CHI de Créteil and AP-HP Fernand Widal) have already put online self-questionnaires, and an extension to other centres is planned (p. 20). The plan announces a network website in 2026, then, in 2027, a self-questionnaire accessible via QR code and a presentation brochure for health professionals (p. 20)
3️⃣ How to approach PE with young people? The resources intended for young people will prioritise empowerment rather than anxiety-inducing messages, will offer concrete solutions tailored to their actual capacity for action, and will avoid placing the individual responsibility for systemic issues on them (p. 15). The document discusses a prevention approach that is "positive and non-blaming" (p. 15).
