Description
EPA issued an update to its PFAS destruction and disposal guidance. This affects how regulated entities and their contractors evaluate and document PFAS waste management approaches (e.g., selection of destruction/disposal technologies and related best practices/considerations). Compliance teams managing PFAS-containing wastes (from treatment residuals, remediation, manufacturing, or product stewardship programs) should review the updated guidance and align waste handling protocols, vendor specifications, and recordkeeping accordingly.
