PFAS treatment choices: What is the real cost, and what drives it? - February 26, 2026 - 2-3 pm EST

Managing PFAS contamination presents both environmental and financial challenges. Understanding the full cost implications of PFAS treatment is essential for informed decision-making. So, what are the real costs associated with different treatment options and their corresponding risks? That’s exactly what this Navigating PFAS webinar will address.  

This webinar will examine the cost-performance balance behind PFAS treatment strategies, drawing on real-world case studies to illustrate how technology selection, waste management and regulatory compliance impact budgets. Our speakers will break down the variables that drive costs from site investigation and engineering through treatment and disposal, and provide practical insights to help you evaluate your options effectively.

This webinar is ideal for forward-thinking professionals in risk management, environmental compliance, contaminated site management and emerging contaminants as well as executives and project managers who approve budgets and need clarity on hidden costs and lifecycle expenses.

Key takeaways:

  • Understand the major cost drivers in PFAS treatment and remediation projects.
  • Learn how performance trade-offs influence technology selection and overall spend.
  • Explore real-world case studies from PFAS remediation and AFFF transition projects with their cost breakdown.
  • Gain a clear understanding of the costs associated with major buckets of work when managing PFAS including “hidden costs” and costs that are sometimes overlooked.
