Facsa participates in an international workshop on the detection and elimination of PFAS, organized by the SCENARIOS project in Denmark

Facsa SCENARIOS has played a prominent role in the search for new solutions to detect and eliminate perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), participating in the workshop 'PFAS Remediation: Sustainable Solutions and Acceptance Conditions'. This event, organized in Denmark by the SCENARIOS project, brought together experts from across Europe to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges. PFAS are highly persistent chemicals that accumulate in the environment and in living organisms and can be found in food packaging, clothing, makeup, and kitchen utensils. SCENARIOS, supported by the European Union's Horizon 2020 (H2020) initiative, is an ambitious four-year research project involving 19 partners from 10 European countries and Israel. Its objective is to close the existing knowledge gap and achieve significant progress in the detection, toxicology, and remediation of PFAS, considered one of the most concerning and widespread classes of pollutants globally.

Elena Zuriaga, head of the R&D&I Projects Area at Facsa, represented the company at a roundtable discussion entitled "Understanding Industry Needs." She shared the stage with Helena Hinrichsen of Envytech and David Trueba of Revive Environmental. During the discussion, the industry representatives explored current perspectives on PFAS remediation, identifying the specific challenges and requirements the sector faces in implementing these solutions.

The event brought together producers, remediation implementers, policymakers, and representatives from the industrial sector. It also underscored the importance of close collaboration among all stakeholders to effectively address the PFAS problem, promoting sustainable solutions that not only meet technical requirements but also align with evolving environmental policies and regulatory frameworks.

With its active participation in these types of initiatives, Facsa reaffirms its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the treatment of pollutants, contributing to the protection of the environment and public health.
