MC Evatech Co., Ltd. has started accepting the regeneration of used activated carbon containing PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances). PFAS is a general term for organic fluorine compounds that have high chemical stability, and activated carbon adsorption is widely used for their removal. On the other hand, activated carbon after adsorption is often incinerated, which has raised concerns about disposal costs and CO2 emissions. Our company has established a system capable of regenerating used activated carbon containing PFAS through safety verification, compliance confirmation with the Ministry of the Environment's guidelines, optimization of manufacturing conditions, and environmental impact assessments. We have confirmed that we can remove over 99.9% of PFAS from regenerated activated carbon by utilizing our long-established activated carbon manufacturing technology. With the start of this regeneration acceptance, we expect not only a reduction in disposal and procurement costs due to a decrease in the use of new activated carbon but also a reduction in CO2 emissions from incineration and a decrease in environmental impact through the promotion of resource circulation. If you are struggling with the disposal or resource recovery of activated carbon containing PFAS, please feel free to consult us.
