Celebrating Success: Revive Environmental’s AFFF Takeback Initiative in New Hampshire, Ohio, and Beyond

Revive Environmental (Revive) is proud to partner with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) in their significant step forward in making water safe by eliminating PFAS contamination from aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF). As the prime contractor for the initiative, Revive managed every aspect of the program, from registration and coordination with NHDES to the collection and transport of AFFF through our partnership with Republic Services. This initiative marks another milestone in our growing legacy of successful takeback events, including prior efforts with the State of Ohio’s EPA.

A New Standard for PFAS Takeback Initiatives

New Hampshire Highlights:

• Registered and collected over 12,000 gallons of AFFF from over 125 fire departments across the state through 10 county-wide events.
• Approximately 250 different types of AFFF collected, from approximately 40 different manufacturers.
• Facilitated community collection events with NHDES to ensure compliance and efficiency.
• Managed the safe transport and destruction of collected AFFF in partnership with Republic Services.
• This initiative was not just about removing harmful substances; it was about setting a standard for how takeback events can be effectively conducted with a focus on safety, compliance, and public awareness.
• Destruction of PFAS in the AFFF to be completed at Revive’s facility in Columbus, Ohio.
