Revive Environmental Spotlighted on Fox News Grand Rapids for PFAS Annihilation Efforts

We’re proud to share that Fox News Grand Rapids recently featured our Grand Rapids, MI, facility and our groundbreaking efforts to destroy PFAS contamination at scale. The segment, which aired last night and this morning, highlights how our PFAS Annihilator® technology is making a measurable impact by eliminating these harmful chemicals from wastewater, landfill leachate, and firefighting foam.

During the interview, Rick Gillespie, our Chief Commercial Officer, shared insights on why PFAS—often called “forever chemicals”—are a serious environmental challenge and how Revive is leading the charge in verified PFAS destruction.

Key Takeaways from the Interview:

  • First-in-the-nation facility: Our Grand Rapids site is the first U.S. facility processing PFAS at scale, operating 24/6 to destroy contamination from various waste streams.
  • Proven impact: We’ve already processed thousands of gallons of PFAS-laden waste, including 50 million gallons of landfill leachate and thousands of gallons of AFFF firefighting foam.
  • Scientific results: Our technology eliminates PFAS down to non-detect levels, with clean effluent reaching concentrations as low as one drop in five Olympic-sized swimming pools—far below drinking water standards.
  • Commitment to growth: With three PFAS Annihilators® in operation, we’re planning to expand our capacity and add more units at our Grand Rapids facility.

As Rick put it:

“PFAS is one of the most challenging environmental contaminants we’ve ever faced. It’s persistent, toxic at low levels, and accumulates in human tissue. Our mission is to stop that from happening.”

With Michigan leading the nation in PFAS enforcement and solutions, we’re proud to be part of the movement to make clean water possible for all.
