What believers are saying

  • EPA's 2026 PFAS guidance drives consulting demand across landfills, wastewater, and due diligence.

What critics are saying

  • August 2026 trademark litigation with SCS Global Services cost management time and legal spend.
  • PFAS rulemaking and 2026 EPA guidance force clients into expensive compliance work, delaying projects.
  • Heavy dependence on landfill and waste clients exposes SCS to fee pressure if recycling volumes weaken.

What makes SCS Engineers unique
