SUMMARY

• The average Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) were calculated for various water and solid waste PFAS treatment technologies.
• Solid waste treatment technologies included stabilization, landfill, thermal desorption and soil washing.
• Two different scenarios were used to compare the GHG emissions for solid waste treatment technologies:
  • 5 x 55-gallon drums of soil
  • 10,000 cubic yards of soil
• As a leading stabilization technology vendor, RemBind provided substantial GHG emissions field data for the study.
• PFAS stabilization had the lowest carbon footprint compared to all other technologies tested across both treatment scenarios.
• The low carbon footprint of PFAS stabilization in soils and solid wastes is consistent with a circular economy approach.
