Collaborate with your peers in small groups to unearth forward thinking strategies to better advance PFAS regulation and guidance and deliberate how we can accelerate the progression of treatment technologies.

• What would you like to see implemented into UK PFAS guidance? What can we learn from the DWD?
• How can regulation go further to encourage water companies to do more than the minimum?
• What are the biggest limitations to progressing PFAS treatment? What should companies and stakeholders prioritise for the next 5 years?
• Which treatment technology do you believe to be the most effective?
• How can we ensure advanced treatment solutions are affordable? How does public perception impact decision making around contaminations?

• Exploring the causes of PFAS contamination in water sources
• Building partnerships to understand and mitigate contamination

• Tackling liquid waste from landfills
• Balancing cleaning landfill waste with PFOS and PFOA levels in catchments
• Aligning litigation with environmental needs

Co-chair: Oli Raud, principal consultant, Isle Utilities 

Collaborate with your peers in small groups to deliberate how the industry can better embrace partnerships and improve stakeholder engagement to minimise PFAS pollution at source.

• How can we tackle pharmaceutical contamination and collaborate across sectors to ensure safe drinking water across, especially in high volumes? What role does data handling play here?
• Which technologies should we implement to treat leachate? What role can policy makers play in increasing treatment and monitoring? 
• Should the UK enforce a ‘polluter pays’ policy, similar to the USA? How can water companies show a united front to achieve this while managing risk?
• Which methods of detection are most effective? How can we maximise analytical tools?

• Understanding initial outcomes of integrated sonolysis in the field
• Maximising PFAS destruction to minimise waste stream disposal problems
