Clean Harbors Launches “Total PFAS Solution” Addressing Customers’ Forever Chemicals Needs

Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services throughout North America, today introduced its “Total PFAS Solution” to address all the needs of customers related to PFAS (per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances), which are commonly referred to as forever chemicals. Clean Harbors’ Total PFAS Solution is the industry’s first and only one-stop-shop consisting of eight core elements and providing customers with a range of services from analysis to remediation to disposal. The Company’s offering is detailed on its recently updated PFAS website – www.cleanharbors.com/PFAS.

“Through our discussions with customers in recent years, it was clear that the market is in desperate need of a singular PFAS offering that is a true end-to-end solution, so we set out to develop just that,” said Eric Gerstenberg, Clean Harbors co-Chief Executive Officer. “We conducted a comprehensive third-party study in 2021 that proved that our incinerators could achieve destruction levels of greater than 99.9999% for all the key PFAS analytes. Several of our lab locations have achieved certification allowing us to perform some of the industry’s most advanced soil and water sampling analysis. Our Total PFAS Solution provides us an additional avenue to leverage our world-class remediation, transportation and disposal capabilities while contributing to a safer and cleaner environment for all. Today, Clean Harbors is the only company that can offer a cradle-to-grave single-source answer at a commercially scalable level.”

“Regulations around PFAS have begun to finally take shape in recent years as the EPA has pursued its PFAS Strategic Roadmap. Additional regulations and a better-defined framework are anticipated to be announced in the coming year,” said Mike Battles, co-Chief Executive Officer. “We are introducing the Total PFAS Solution in preparation for the expected development and growth in demand that these regulations will spur, both in the private and government sectors, including with the Department of Defense (DoD). Whether it is customers seeking front-end testing and analytics to determine their site contamination, customers with stockpiles of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), or customers evaluating site cleanup, our proven Total PFAS Solution is customizable to meet all of those needs.”
