Last week, our President & CEO, Dr. Bryan Staley, participated in a panel discussion at Waste Today's Corporate Growth Conference. The session, moderated by Michael E. Hoffman from the National Waste & Recycling Association, explored the evolving landscape of PFAS, highlighting both challenges and opportunities for the environmental services industry. #PFAS #CorporateGrowthConference #WasteManagement #EREF
This afternoon’s sessions at the Corporate Growth Conference delved into some of the most pressing topics in environmental services. ♻️ Experts discussed how rising interest rates are reshaping investment strategies, the evolving regulatory challenges surrounding PFAS and the opportunities they present, and how underwriting risk is adapting to meet the unique demands of the industry. Thank you to our speakers for sharing their insights and to our attendees for engaging in these important conversations! _____ #CorporateGrowthConference #EnvironmentalServices #PFAS #CapitalMarkets #RiskManagement

We're always excited to see cutting-edge research from one of our talented EREF Scholars! Check out Alireza Arhami Dolatabad's publication on PFAS decomposition and thermal stability. #PFAS #EnvironmentalResearch #EREFScholar
If you are interested in PFAS decomposition, check out our new publication! We took our PFAS thermal degradation studies one step further, exploring the thermal stability of products of incomplete degradation (PIDs). Our focus was on some of the most commonly reported non-polar PIDs—long-chain perfluorocarbons (PFCs), which are also potent greenhouse gases. Among our investigated PFCs, perfluoroalkanes have shown to be extremely stable, only reaching complete removal at temperatures above 600 °C, emphasizing the complexity of addressing some of the PFAS-related emissions. This project was supported by NSF and SERDP. A special thanks to my advisor Dr. Feng "Frank" Xiao for making this happen and to the Environmental Research & Education Foundation for supporting my PhD journey. Curious about the details?

Tomorrow is National Recycling Day! 🗑️♻️ You may think you’re “celebrating accordingly” by tossing items in a recycling bin, but it’s more difficult than many of us realize. President & CEO Dr. Bryan Staley and Stephen Aber spoke with WRAL-TV about the complexity of recycling rules and how technology may soon be a big help.
