Is the Waste Industry Ready for a Paradigm Shift to Combat PFAS?

  • Tuesday, May 02, 2023:9:45 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Room: 289
  • Session Number: TST2

Description

The EPA and states are proposing new regulations for PFAS in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and biosolids, all of which will impact daily landfill operations. With new regulations coming, landfills operators need new solutions for combating PFAS. Though debates over how to manage PFAS have been ramping up for years, operators need to take action now, even as major questions about how to manage, treat, or destroy the substances remain. Leading landfill operators have expressed a hunger for reliable PFAS management techniques. Hear from their landfill executives how together with a leading PFAS solution provider, they are taking a paradigm shift that will change the industry landscape “forever”.
