💧 Puraffinity is a GreenTech Company that designs smart materials for environmental applications.

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!
