RemBind® develops remediation solutions for PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)-contaminated soil. RemBind®’s cornerstone powdered sorbents bind up and neutralise PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ in soil – with a key focus on toxic PFAS that originate from firefighting foams (AFFF). RemBind® products have been used to treat thousands of tonnes of PFAS-contaminated soil across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, working alongside a wide variety of civil and mining contractors worldwide.

Value Proposition: Sustainable PFAS Management at Mine Sites

A circular economy approach encourages the reuse and regeneration of materials in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way. RemBind®’s projects demonstrate how PFAS-contaminated soils can be treated and reused at mine sites in a practical and safe manner, alleviating the need for costly remediation options such as landfill disposal.

RemBind® can demonstrate the onsite immobilisation of PFAS soil contaminants followed by the safe reuse of treated soils, allowing miners to leverage conventional mining equipment rather than specialised remediation equipment. The onsite management of PFAS-contaminated soils is a cost-effective and practical solution for mine sites.
