Turn spent carbon into certainty.
Not just cost.
Calgon Carbon’s reactivation service closes the loop, with verified PFAS destruction and long-term sustainability.
Reactivation isn’t just a disposal method—it’s a strategic advantage. Calgon Carbon’s thermal reactivation process is engineered to destroy over 99.99% of adsorbed PFAS, eliminate long-term liability, and significantly reduce your carbon footprint. As the largest reactivator of granular activated carbon in North America, we operate EPA-permitted facilities designed for performance, safety, and environmental stewardship. For utilities and industrial partners alike, reactivation brings peace of mind, real savings, and a clear path forward.
Reactivation may be the smartest move you’re not making:
Proven PFAS Destruction
Our reactivation furnaces destroy >99.99% of PFAS compounds—delivering true end-of-life treatment.
Significant Cost Savings
Reactivation reduces disposal fees, cuts the need for virgin carbon, and lowers total cost of ownership.
Smaller Carbon Footprint
Reactivation requires less energy and fewer emissions than producing new GAC—supporting sustainability goals.
Custom or Shared Programs
Choose from closed-loop reactivation (CMR/CFR/CIR) or pooled programs—engineered to fit your system.
Extend the life of your carbon and your budget.
Failing to reuse carbon adds unnecessary cost, waste, and regulatory burden:
- Ongoing disposal fees for spent carbon
- Rising material costs with no long-term hedge
- Zero PFAS destruction from landfill or incineration
- Lost opportunity to reduce emissions and waste
Reactivation helps you close the loop—and the compliance gap.
With Operation Bedrock, you’re not just buying carbon.
You’re building resilience.
