Examining the Regulatory & Policy Backdrop
​
Welcome from Environment Analyst
Update on Current and Future Regulatory Frameworks Across the Globe, and the Implications for PFAS Management
​
Changes to global regulatory approaches are occurring at a rapid rate, as knowledge and techniques develop. The number of individual PFAS substances included within regulations and guidelines is increasing, and the threshold values are becoming more stringent, so it’s crucial to understand the latest and future regulations to ensure you’re compliant.
​
This session will provide an update on current and future regulatory frameworks across the globe and outline the implications for PFAS management, with a focus on the US, Europe and Australia:
​
-
Get an overview of the latest regional drivers and regulatory changes around the world, and progress being made on developing standardised global approaches
-
Understand how PFAS regulations are ramping up and how they differ across countries
​
​
Current & Potential PFAS Regulatory Controls in the US and their Impact
​
Proposed and enacted controls on PFAS manufacture, use, environmental releases, and waste cleanup, as well as rules to address drinking water contamination by PFAS, have been rapidly picking up pace in the United States. This presentation will focus primarily upon federal legislation and regulations, selected pending PFAS litigation, and will briefly touch upon some of the key state actions on these chemicals.
​
​
The UPFAS Restriction: Where Do We Stand?
​
The background document to the UPFAS restriction has been published by ECHA in August 2025. What are the main differences between this document and the initial dossier that was submitted in 2023? And what are the next steps in the process?
​
Progress Towards Normal Background Concentrations for PFAS in Shallow Soils in England

​
Identifying, Addressing and Communicating PFAS Risks and Liabilities Within Organisations and Across the Supply Chain
Learn how to identify, mitigate and communicate PFAS-related risks and contamination liabilities in your own organisation and across the supply chain. Get insights on how to protect the balance sheet from PFAS-related risks, and deal with PFAS claims and the commercial risk management of PFAS sites.
​
Wednesday 3rd December
2-5pm GMT / 9am-12pm ET
​
Risk-Assessment & Remediation: Innovative Technologies and Solutions
Innovative Approaches to Investigating, Risk-Assessing, and Managing PFAS
​
This session will explore innovative sampling and analysis techniques, and outline global approaches for effectively monitoring and risk assessing PFAS, both in soil, groundwater and surface water.
​
Jennifer Farrell, Program Administrator, Florida Department of Environmental Protection (tentative)
​​
​
Global Approaches for Mitigating and Remediating PFAS
Discover the latest scientific developments, including in and ex situ techniques and product solutions, for mitigating, remediating and destroying PFAS.
PFAS Group Chemicals – Search, Capture & Destroy?
Get an overview of Puragen’s award-winning, closed loop technology for the abatement and complete destruction of PFAS group chemicals, based on proprietary surface-modified activated carbons and advanced thermal reactivation.
​
David Reay, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Puragen
​
Dr Andy Leatt, Technical and Development Director, Puragen
​
Versatility in Deployment of Novel Surface Modified Clays for Environmental Remediation of PFAS Impacted Sites​
​
The presentation will review the technical features of CETCO’s surface modified clay (SMC) technology commercially known as FLUORO-SORB® Adsorbent used for PFAS remediation. The various product forms will be discussed as well as methods to deploy them for site specific PFAS remedial strategies. Several case studies will be presented to demonstrate the versatility in deployment of the product. The remedial techniques to be reviewed will include pump and treat, direct push injection, soil mixing and the installation of permeable reactive barriers. Performance data and design considerations will be discussed.
​
Michael Donovan, Global R&D Director - Construction Technologies, CETCO Minerals Technologies

​
Remediating PFAS.
​
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that can't break down easily in the environment and, due to their persistence, can impose health risks to humans. PFAS are pervasive and may be found in many consumer goods, from beauty products to cleaning products, nonstick cookware, stain-resistant coatings, and more. That's why we developed FLUORO-SORB® adsorbent technology, a proprietary, NSF-certified product designed to support global remediation efforts surrounding PFAS. Unlike other sorbent products that are selective and unpredictable in adsorbing PFAS, FLUORO-SORB® adsorbent binds the entire spectrum of PFAS (including PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFNA) without being affected by co-contaminants in the waste stream.
