Anthera Remediation Technologies (A.R.T.) has recently been selected by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) to participate in the 2026 PFAS Innovation Cohort through the organisation’s Change Makers initiative.
The cohort brings together emerging companies, researchers, and innovators focused on addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges facing communities and industries worldwide: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals.”
PFAS compounds have been widely used for decades in industrial processes and consumer products because of their resistance to heat, water, and oil. However, that same persistence has created significant environmental and public health concerns as these compounds accumulate in water supplies, soil, and ecosystems.
As regulatory scrutiny increases and cleanup requirements expand across the United Kingdom and globally, organisations are searching for remediation solutions that are not only effective, but also scalable, energy-efficient, and economically viable.
The Royal Society of Chemistry’s PFAS Innovation Cohort was created to support technologies and organisations working to advance meaningful progress in this area. The programme focuses on innovators developing solutions for PFAS detection, treatment, destruction, and sustainable alternatives.
For A.R.T., participation in the cohort represents an important milestone in the company’s mission to advance sustainable PFAS remediation technologies capable of addressing contamination challenges without relying on highly energy-intensive treatment methods.
A.R.T.’s remediation platform is designed to degrade harmful PFAS compounds in contaminated water while supporting more practical and cost-effective deployment opportunities for industrial and environmental applications.
“We are honored to be selected by the Royal Society of Chemistry and excited to collaborate with other innovators working to address the global PFAS challenge,” said Dr. Cecilia MacLeod, Managing Director, A.R.T. “This recognition reinforces the importance of accelerating sustainable remediation technologies that can help industries and communities respond to evolving environmental demands.”
The company looks forward to participating in the 2026 cohort and contributing to ongoing collaboration and innovation surrounding PFAS remediation and environmental sustainability.
