How to destroy harmful 'forever chemicals'
Published: 8/18/2025

Clean-tech companies are developing ways to destroy harmful "forever chemicals" known as PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) found in everyday items like non-stick pans and waterproof clothing. Techniques like electrochemical oxidation and supercritical water oxidation are being tested to remove PFAS from water and soil, offering potential solutions for the environmental and health risks associated with these chemicals. With the growing market demand for PFAS destruction technologies, companies like Axine Water Technologies and 374Water are making strides in providing efficient and reliable methods to combat PFAS contamination.
