Eliminating PFAS in Industry and the Environment

For decades, PFAS have been industry’s loyal partner thanks to their unique properties: chemical resistance, insulation, durability, and temperature stability. But today we know that this partnership is toxic – harming both people and the environment. With tighter regulations and an EU-wide ban approaching, the time has come to say goodbye to PFAS wherever possible.

This one-day conference gathers industry, utilities, experts, and decision-makers for a solution-oriented day focused on practical actions against PFAS.

Target group

The conference is designed for R&D leaders, CTOs, environmental managers, and other decision-makers and specialists working with PFAS challenges.
