Boston – Veolia North America, a provider of environmental solutions in the U.S. and Canada, announced it has expanded its PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) treatment and compliance capabilities with the launch of its BeyondPFAS offering.
BeyondPFAS combines Veolia’s technical capability in PFAS treatment and disposal with its skill in helping customers navigate regulatory and legal requirements and identify funding resources. This combination of engineering, managerial, operational, technological and regulatory expertise is designed to provide businesses and governments with a one-stop shop for PFAS services and offer peace of mind about PFAS issues, and allow them to enhance and take control of their efforts to mitigate risk and maintain public trust in water sources.
Estelle Brachlianoff, Veolia’s chief executive officer, said, “The PFAS offer is a perfect illustration of Veolia’s value creation model. It was made possible by our ability to combine all our expertise across the entire pollution treatment value chain. This is the most comprehensive end-to-end offering on the market, combining our skills in diagnostics, water treatment and waste management, providing a complete, innovative and best value for money solution to this major environmental challenge.”
Veolia operates and maintains 80 drinking water systems across the country on behalf of municipalities and is helping many of them evaluate and make their own decisions to address new regulatory requirements for PFAS mitigation. The BeyondPFAS solution encompasses lessons Veolia has learned from planning and implementing these systems across dozens of drinking water systems, providing readiness for public water systems seeking a full-capability provider. It streamlines Veolia’s offerings with a holistic approach from initial site assessment and sampling, to implementation of tailored treatment technologies, through proper handling and disposing of contaminants in line with current EPA-recommended methods such as incineration, deep well injection and secured, approved landfills.
Veolia North America CEO, Frédéric Van Heems, said, “Veolia is a global leader in PFAS treatment with a full array of solutions across the spectrum of PFAS, and our BeyondPFAS effort marks an evolution in our ability to provide our customers with the end-to-end solutions they need. BeyondPFAS’ tailored approach helps you streamline implementation, optimize costs, minimize risks and secure long-term operational efficiency. America’s PFAS challenges are still emerging, and Veolia is here to help America face them.”
