A Circular Solution to PFAS: Turning Wood Residuals into High-Performance PFAS Capture Media

PFAS remediation currently forces a tough choice: low-cost activated carbon with high replacement rates, or expensive synthetic resins that introduce microplastic risks.

​Join us on November 12 with Dr. Juergen Koller, CEO and Co-Founder of Sequestro, to learn how their bio-renewable media (ArborSORB™) upcycles forestry waste like sawdust to capture "forever chemicals" with resin-level efficiency—at a fraction of the cost.

​What You'll Learn:

  • ​Circular Chemistry: How wood residuals are engineered into high-affinity PFAS adsorbents.

  • ​Zero Microplastics: Delivering high-performance water treatment using bio-based materials.

  • ​Lab to Field: Scaling University of Michigan research into active commercial applications.

​Speaker: Dr. Koller holds a Ph.D. in synthetic inorganic chemistry and brings 15+ years of industrial chemical manufacturing experience to bio-renewable water remediation.
