EPA issues 2026 Interim Guidance on the destruction and disposal of PFAS and PFAS‑containing materials

EPA published the 2026 version of its Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS. The guidance updates EPA’s information and evaluation considerations for PFAS destruction/disposal pathways (e.g., thermal treatment, landfill disposal, underground injection) and includes an updated framework for assessing and selecting technologies. While non-binding, it is a key reference used by regulated parties and decision-makers managing PFAS-containing wastes and remediation residuals.
