Régénération des charbons actifs et destruction des substances per et polyfluoroalkylées

This legislative proposal focuses on improving the management of activated carbon used to filter pollutants from water and air. It specifically addresses the need for effective methods to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called 'forever chemicals,' to prevent them from re-entering the environment during the carbon regeneration process. This will primarily affect industrial waste management companies, water treatment facilities, and environmental regulators by introducing stricter standards for the disposal and treatment of hazardous chemical residues.
