Reworld debuts new full-scale PFAS destruction process

Reworld debuts new full-scale PFAS destruction process

Published by skeptic

ReAssure™ PFAS Destruction has been tested and proven to destroy and remove 99% of PFAS. ReAssure™ PFAS Destruction provides customers with access to approximately 17 million tons of processing capacity through Thermomechanical Treatment Facilities (TTFs) available in all major markets in the United States, delivering the scale necessary to address PFAS-containing waste. Offering PFAS destruction across municipal, commercial, and industrial waste streams, the Reworld TTFs process waste at temperatures above 1,100°C (2,012°F), widely cited as effective for PFAS destruction. Testing campaigns at Reworld TTFs have demonstrated 99% destruction and removal of PFAS at a processing capacity scale over 17 times greater than hazardous waste incineration. PFAS destruction is a crucial part of reducing pollution PFAS contamination is one of the most pressing and pervasive issues in the environment today. The chemicals have been in use since the 1930s, do not break down easily and highly soluble in water, meaning they are incredibly widespread. Several health conditions have been attributed to PFAS exposure, with impact noted as early as in the womb. “To effectively solve the …

Artist Suing FIFA Over Destruction of Dallas Whale Mural Before World Cup

Published by Sam Flores

The artist who painted a giant mural on a building in downtown Dallas of life-sized swimming whales has filed a $25 million lawsuit against soccer’s international governing body and others, saying they illegally painted over his work to promote the city’s upcoming World Cup matches. The artist Wyland says he hand-painted the sprawling mural that covered roughly 17,000 square feet (1,580 square meters) across two of the building’s walls. The mural stood for nearly three decades before workers began painting over it last month, causing an uproar among residents who admired the mural’s grand scale and message of ocean conservation. The area’s World Cup organizing committee said in a statement that, in place of Wyland’s mural, new artwork is planned “that captures this current historical moment and reflects the energy, unity, and global spirit surrounding the World Cup 2026.” It said a portion of Wyland’s mural would be preserved. Wyland filed suit Monday in U.S District Court in Dallas saying that World Cup organizers, along with the building’s owner and management company, painted over his …

The Purged Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation, Franklin Foer wrote in the February issue.

This is how to weigh the stakes of our political moment—one life at a time. No statistic can adequately describe America’s losses. Each of the 50 people profiled in Foer’s essay is so gifted and generous, so essential to what the United States means—or at least to what it used to mean.

Vision of destruction: Israel’s assault on southern Lebanon in video, maps and charts | Lebanon

Published by Sam Flores

Israel’s destruction in southern Lebanon happened in phases. Hours after Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel on 2 March, the Israeli military issued forced evacuation orders for more than 100 villages close to the Lebanese-Israeli border. Bombing quickly followed. Tens of thousands of residents of south Lebanon began heading north, taking shelter in cities such as Tyre, Sidon and Beirut. Many people outside the formal evacuation zones also fled their homes, recalling the autumn 2024 war in which Israel bombed wide swathes of south Lebanon without warning. On 4 March, the Israeli military told all people living south of the Litani River to head north. On 12 March, forced evacuation orders were issued up to the Zahrani River, adding another chunk of south Lebanon to the Israeli-declared no man’s land. Further north still, evacuation orders were issued for the southern suburbs of Beirut. Step by step, Israel had ordered roughly 14.3% of Lebanon’s territory to be vacated – displacing more than 1.2 million people from their homes. The vast majority of those displaced were from south …

On-site PFAS destruction in complex landfill leachate

On-site PFAS destruction in complex landfill leachate

Published by skeptic

PFASuiki demonstrates the power of electrochemical oxidation by achieving high destruction rates in one of Italy’s most challenging landfill environments. Since our initial introduction of PFASuiki’s electrochemical oxidation (EO) technology, the global regulatory landscape has shifted. The focus for industrial operators is no longer just removal, but route stability. As landfill and industrial operators face tightening acceptance criteria for secondary waste, the need to close the PFAS mass balance on-site has become an operational necessity. PFASuiki is now moving from laboratory innovation to real-world impact. By deploying our modular systems directly into complex industrial streams, we are proving that ‘forever chemicals’ can be terminated at the source, even in the most demanding matrices. Case study: PFAS destruction in landfill leachate (Italy) Context and challenge Landfill leachate is one of the most demanding PFAS treatment environments. At this specific site in Italy, the leachate contained a complex mixture of PFAS species alongside high organic load, salinity, and competing ions. These conditions typically limit the effectiveness of conventional treatment technologies. Operators at such sites face a fundamental …
