Kurita America and Cyclopure to Deliver Groundbreaking PFAS Removal and Regeneration Solutions
Kurita America and Cyclopure have teamed up to deliver PFAS?removal solutions using Cyclopure’s DEXSORB adsorbent, which offers 4–10× higher capacity and eco?friendly regeneration. They plan to combine Kurita’s system expertise with DEXSORB to build scalable, sustainable PFAS treatment systems—and are setting up a regeneration facility in Michigan to support deployment.
LGC Standards Launches New 13C-Labelled PFAS Reference Materials to Support EPA Method 1633 Workflows
LGC Standards today announced the expansion of its Dr. Ehrenstorfer™ PFAS portfolio with new 13C-labelled reference materials specifically developed for EPA Method 1633, including two ready-to-use isotope labelled internal standard (EIS/NIS) mixtures (24 and 7 analytes) and a comprehensive range of single compound solutions. These materials are designed to streamline calibration, improve data quality, and deliver robust, defensible results across aqueous, solid, and biological matrices, enabling laboratories around the world to produce reliable, traceable PFAS measurements.
Thermo Fisher launches Chromeleon 7.4, an enterprise chromatography–MS data system with 21 CFR Part 11 controls
Chromeleon 7.4 is built for networked deployments, consolidating chromatography and targeted MS workflows under one interface across SQ, QQQ, and HRAM instruments. The release adds concurrency and network-failure protection for multiuser labs and introduces tools such as single-scan fragment visualization, simulated isotopic patterns, and multi-consensus reporting to support quantitative screening, Thermo Fisher says. Target applications include biopharma as well as PFAS and pesticide testing in environmental and food labs, with centralized storage and remote instrument control for traceable, compliant operations.
Allbirds Launches Its First-Ever 100% Waterproof Wool Sneakers
Each upper is crafted with Merino wool, treated with a C-Zero DWR (“Durable Water Repellent”). When applied to textiles, this PFAS-free treatment causes water to bead up and roll off, rather than soaking into the fabric. A breathable waterproof membrane is carefully placed between the upper material and interior lining, creating a robust barrier that prevents water from reaching your feet even in the wettest conditions.
PFAS-free battery firm bags fresh funding: 'EU crackdown is driving demand'
Swedish startup Westra Materials has raised €3.8m in fresh funding from Voima Ventures, Lotus Investment, Almi Invest, Navigare Ventures to expand production of its PFAS-free polymers and grow its team.
Gradiant’s ForeverGone Sets New Standard for PFAS Destruction with Breakthrough Cost and Performance
Operating at just $0.10–$0.20 per cubic meter, ForeverGone delivers a breakthrough in affordability that is far below the $0.50–$2.00 per cubic meter total cost of conventional GAC or IX treatment. With energy use of only ~0.5 kWh/m³ as the primary operating expense, the system minimizes costs while on-site treatment eliminates the added costs and risks of hauling and disposal.
LG Chem LG Chem Targets Next-Generation Semiconductor Packaging with High-Resolution PID
LG Chem’s liquid PID offers high-resolution patterning, low-temperature curing capability, and features low shrinkage and low moisture absorption properties, improving process stability. Furthermore, it is free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and excludes organic solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and toluene, ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Morro™ Coating is proven plastic-free by The National Physical Laboratory
In a major step forward for sustainable packaging, Xampla and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a pioneering test to validate that our Morro™ materials – made from natural plant polymers – are plastic-free and SUPD-exempt. The breakthrough provides our customers with credible assurance that Xampla’s Morro materials meet tightening UK and EU regulations on single-use plastics, while also establishing the foundation for a first-of-its-kind validation method for plastic-free claims.
