Selected sourced regulatory, project and technology developments. Editorial update: 22 October 2026. This archive is updated periodically, not continuously.
In its October update, the U.S. EPA said approximately 1.2 billion gallons of drinking water had been treated for PFAS. This is an agency-reported aggregate, not an independent PFAS removal performance assessment.
Primary source ↗Claros reported that its UV-based PFAS destruction system was selected for TIME’s 2026 Green Tech list. Published performance figures relate to targeted PFAS under specific operating conditions, not all PFAS in every water matrix.
Primary source ↗Commission Regulation (EU) 2024/2462 introduces restrictions from 10 October 2026 for specified PFHxA-containing consumer textiles, food-contact paper and board, cosmetics and other listed products, subject to concentrations, scope and exceptions in the regulation.
Primary source ↗Researchers and public-sector partners are using a PFAS-contaminated former fire-training site at Utrecht Science Park to examine sustainable soil treatment and remediation approaches.
Primary source ↗IBA announced that it will coordinate LIFEDESTINY, a European LIFE project focused on demonstrating sustainable and scalable PFAS remediation across different contaminated matrices.
Source ↗DEME Environmental announced the opening of its new Schiphol soil-wash installation for PFAS-impacted soil, with roughly 200,000 tonnes expected to be made suitable for reuse over the coming years.
Source ↗Schiphol says the facility has begun processing contaminated soil and aims to treat about 200,000 tonnes over three years while reusing most of the cleaned sand on site.
Source ↗The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center modified its TREAT facility to validate a thermal-plasma system for legacy AFFF and PFAS contamination.
Source ↗EPA, DOJ and West Virginia announced a proposed settlement estimated at more than $450 million in penalties and relief related to PFAS pollution and other environmental violations at multiple Chemours facilities.
Source ↗ECHA announced that RAC had adopted its final opinion and SEAC its draft opinion supporting an EU-wide PFAS restriction with targeted derogations and emission controls.
