Our take
PFAS, aka "forever chemicals", are synthetic substances used in products like non-stick pans and food wrappers. They don't break down easily, leading to widespread water contamination that poses serious health and environmental risks.
Puraffinity, a green tech start-up, has developed a novel material called "Puratech" that effectively captures and removes PFAS from water. This technology is customisable, making it adaptable to various industries and regulatory needs. It is also more environmentally-friendly than other methods of removal.
With a vision to provide 1 billion people with PFAS-free water by 2030, the company recently raised funding to help it on its way. With this new investment, the company plans to scale up its production and expand globally, making its ground-breaking technology more widely available.
