EPA Study Validates Reworld's PFAS Destruction Technology at Scale
Event summary
- EPA study confirms Reworld’s Thermomechanical Treatment Facility destroyed up to 99% of a surrogate PFAS compound.
- Study conducted in spring 2024 validated destruction efficiency under real-world waste stream conditions.
- Reworld’s ReAssure™ service offers 17 million tons of annual PFAS destruction capacity across U.S. markets.
- TTFs operate at temperatures above 1,100°C (2,012°F), with no incomplete combustion byproducts detected.
The big picture
Reworld’s EPA-backed validation positions it as a key player in addressing the growing PFAS contamination crisis. With municipal, commercial, and industrial waste streams increasingly burdened by these 'forever chemicals,' proven destruction technologies are becoming critical infrastructure. Reworld’s scale—17 times greater than hazardous waste incineration—sets a new benchmark for industry-wide adoption.
