EPA study validates Reworld® facility destroys 99% of PFAS 'forever chemicals' in waste

Reworld has released results from a US Environmental Protection Agency study conducted at its Lake County Thermomechanical Treatment Facility in Florida, validating the effectiveness of PFAS destruction. The study, carried out in spring 2024, showed the facility's process destroyed up to 99% of a conservative surrogate compound harder to eliminate than other PFAS. The findings support Reworld's recently launched ReAssure PFAS Destruction service, which offers approximately 17 million tonnes of processing capacity through facilities operating above 1,100°C. The service includes access to over 50 material processing facilities, wastewater treatment, and logistics coordination. PFAS contamination stems from thousands of everyday products including carpets, textiles, and packaging that end up in municipal solid waste streams.
