Description
with ?️ Henrik Hagemann is the CEO and Co-Founder of Puraffinity.
? Puraffinity is a GreenTech Company that designs smart materials for environmental applications.
Their cutting-edge material design and creative engineering approach may provide a new horizon to solve the daunting PFAS / Forever chemicals challenge we face.
What we covered:
? What Polyfluoroalkyl Substances - or PFAS - actually are
? How these PFAS enter the Water Cycle somewhen along the way but never exit it. In other words, they bioaccumulate in all of us!
? How finding PFAS in >97% of people has consequences on health, wellbeing, and overall societal costs
? How PFAS liabilities may also be a risk for the corporate world and Fortune 100 companies
? How Puraffinity may light a bulb of hope in PFAS treatments, thanks to a sort of "Chemical Pacman"
? How "Forever Chemicals" are only eternal because we don't take them seriously (yet)!
? How PFAS could be reused and regenerated from the recycled solvent medium
? How you can control PFAS flows, removals, and by-products (and how you need to go beyond LC-MS for that)
? How the bottleneck to PFAS treatments might be at an unexpected place: a shortage of operators
? Where PFAS treatments shall ideally be located, and what shape they should take
? How we shall move on from the human-centric approach to water treatment to also consider the price tag attached to biodiversity losses
? How to best nudge the adoption of PFAS treatments, from regulations to market incentives through investor activism
? How spinning off from academia to entrepreneurship involves a mindset shift and a readiness for war
? Cycling across the World, studying with monks, time to adoption of new water technologies, being a Forbes 30 under 30 and MIT tech review 35 under 35... and much more!
? ... and of course, we concluded with the ????? ???? ????????? ?
