NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

While contamination from PFAS can pose a challenge for waste facility operators, the family of chemicals also represents a growing waste stream for those businesses that can manage the material.

In recent months, the U.S. EPA released the results of a study finding a Clean Harbors facility had successfully destroyed PFAS chemicals with up to 99.9999% effectiveness. The agency has continued to signal a willingness to consider the issue, and recently revealed its intention to defend its hazardous substance designation for certain PFAS chemicals. 

Meanwhile, state lawmakers continue to take action on PFAS contamination and other federal processes are still playing out.
