+Added: to our System technology for PFAS destruction and are processing commercial quantities of PFAS-containing waste materials with our System,
+Added: there can be no assurance that demand, pricing, or throughput levels will be sufficient in the near term to offset these costs.
+Added: we believe that there are limited treatment options currently available that are intended to permanently destroy these materials, as
+Added: opposed to managing them through storage or containment, which may be important to waste generators seeking to address potential long-term
+Added: environmental liability.
+Added: We believe that our System technology exceeds the performance of other current destruction-based methods;
+Added: adoption and acceptance of any such technology remain subject to regulatory and market factors.
+Added: commercial operation of our System, we anticipate deployment of our second-generation unit in the second half of 2026 at our Environmental

+Added: bench-scale testing to pilot-scale applications for soil, biosolids, and filter media, broadening the reach of our System’s PFAS
+Added: destruction capabilities.
+Added: continue to monitor evolving federal and state regulatory initiatives addressing PFAS-containing materials, including restrictions on
+Added: the use of AFFF and requirements governing the disposition of legacy AFFF inventories.
+Added: These developments may result in the generation
+Added: of PFAS-impacted waste streams for which destruction-based treatment options are evaluated by customers.
+Added: we believe our existing treatment capabilities may be applicable to certain PFAS-containing materials, the timing and magnitude of any
+Added: related demand are uncertain and will depend on factors such as regulatory implementation and enforcement, customer selection among available
+Added: treatment alternatives, contract awards, and our ability to obtain necessary permits, approvals, and operational capacity.
