REGENESIS Named Winner of Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas Award
14 Mayo 2024 - 6:00AM
REGENESIS, the recognized leader in soil and groundwater
remediation solutions for PFAS and other contaminants, today
announced that its PlumeStop® technology was named one of the
winners of Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards . The
company was also honored as a finalist in the Sustainability and
Small and Mighty categories.
Amid growing concerns about the negative impacts of per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (otherwise known as PFAS or “forever
chemicals”), new regulations have been put in place to protect
public health and the environment. Notably, in April 2024, the EPA
designated PFOA and PFOS – two of the most prevalent PFAS chemicals
– as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). This
groundbreaking move marks the first time polluters are accountable
for reporting and remediating PFAS contamination.
With this new regulation in place, stakeholders are in dire need
of effective, sustainable, and affordable remediation solutions.
That’s where PlumeStop stands out. As the default in situ
remediation technology for PFAS, PlumeStop’s patented, proven
solution eliminates the risk of “forever chemicals” and addresses
the urgent need to resolve groundwater contamination for
communities worldwide – one of the many reasons it was awarded this
most recent honor.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as the winner of the World
Changing Ideas award by Fast Company for our PlumeStop technology,”
said Scott Wilson, CEO, and president of REGENESIS. “There are some
57,000 properties in the US alone with PFAS contamination within
soil and groundwater. Industry, military bases, and airports around
the world are in dire need of a cost-effective solution to
remediate PFAS. PlumeStop technology successfully eliminates the
risk of PFAS, meets all regulatory requirements, and does so at
< 1/3 the cost of any other solution, all while generating no
waste. All other approaches to cleaning groundwater of PFAS
generate waste that simply spreads the liability to other
locations. PlumeStop is rapidly becoming the default solution to
protect our environment from the spread of PFAS pollution and we
are proud that Fast Company has recognized this as a World Changing
Idea!”
This award win comes on the heels of an impressive year of
growth for REGENESIS. To date, PlumeStop has been used for treating
PFAS at more than 50 project sites and other contaminants at almost
2,000 sites worldwide. Further, REGENESIS launched SourceStop® in
April 2024, which treats PFAS contamination at its source. Pairing
SourceStop and PlumeStop unlocks the world’s first end-to-end, in
situ PFAS remediation approach.
A panel of Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners
from a pool of more than 1,300 entries across sustainability,
social justice, wellness, politics, technology, and more.
