Register here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/522be166-64fa-4ad9-ba48-a95637c38630@e9f3fd58-05d3-4b9a-9485-e694b61feb49
Webinar Description:
In this webinar, Jackie Baxley, HRP’s EHS&S Practice Leader, will guide the audience through recent regulatory changes as it relates to PFAS and TSCA Reporting and EPCRA Toxic Inventory Release Reporting. In late 2023, EPA finalized a new rule under TSCA requiring manufacturers and importers to conduct a 12 year look back at PFAS mixtures, articles and byproducts. This one time report under TSCA will open in November 2024 and be due May 8, 2025.
Also in late 2023, EPA removed the “de minimis” exemption for PFAS in EPCRA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Reporting. This EPCRA rule change will impact the 2024 Reporting Year whose report is due July 1, 2025. In this webinar we aim to provide awareness of these new/amended rules, help identify if they potentially apply to your organization, and if applicable, what you should be doing NOW to prepare for these reports.

Matt and Tom are joined by Krista Ramirez of Axine Water Technolgies to talk PFAS.
Axine's Story:
"Each year industrial manufacturing operations worldwide in virtually every market generate billions of gallons of wastewater contaminated with toxic, non-biodegradable organic pollutants. Much of this wastewater can’t be effectively treated on-site with conventional treatment technology and must be trucked off-site for incineration. It’s a complex, multi-billion dollar pain point with significant long-term risks to industry, communities, human health and the environment.
Axine was created to solve this problem and establish a new industry standard that delivers exceptional performance, flexibility and value compared to incumbents. Today, we’re achieving this goal with an incredibly talented and entrepreneurial team who are passionate about delivering solutions that disrupt the market and deliver the highest value to customers.
From modest beginnings, Axine has grown from concept to scale-up and commercial deployment with multinational customers. We’re incredibly fortunate to be supported by a global network of world-class research agencies, suppliers, advisors, partners and investors in one of the world’s top cleantech ecosystems. We’re proud of our accomplishments and we’re just getting started. Join us as we continue this journey."
