Your Complete Industrial Waste Partner - Now Including PFAS

Since 1 January 2026, Singapore's NEA regulations prohibit the import and use of firefighting foams exceeding PFAS thresholds. Veolia is the only NEA-licensed operator in Singapore offering compliant treatment and disposal.

CHALLENGE

Navigating PFAS Regulation

Effective 1 January 2026, Singapore's NEA framework prohibits firefighting foams (AFFF, AR-AFFF, FFFP and equivalents) exceeding strict PFAS thresholds, making non-compliant stocks an active legal liability across operational, training, testing and maintenance activities. Only NEA-licensed Toxic Industrial Waste operators are authorised to collect and process these waste streams — including foams, process water and PPE — within a fully documented and traceable framework. As Singapore's sole NEA-licensed PFAS operator, Veolia integrates this specialised treatment directly into your existing waste management infrastructure, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational continuity across aerospace, marine, electronics and defence sectors.

Enabling a Smooth Transition

Our approach is designed to minimise disruption and enable a fast, seamless transition so your operations can continue without delay.

  • Seamless integration with your existing TIW management
  • Fast mobilisation and scheduling aligned with your operational constraints
  • Efficient handling of all waste streams: foams, cleaning waste, contaminated tanks, sludge
  • Reduced downtime through streamlined collection and treatment processes

Compliance & Environmental Risk Control

We equip you with the operational tools to confidently meet Singapore’s 2026 NEA requirements, with full documentation and seamless compliance, while enhancing control over legal and environmental risks.

  • Licensed treatment at Singapore's only authorised PFAS facility
  • Full traceability documentation across all waste streams
  • Issuance of a Certificate of Destruction
  • Prevention of soil and groundwater contamination, reducing potential future remediation costs

SOLUTION
How Veolia supports your operations

From the aerospace and marine sector to electronics and defence facilities, this transition is more than a maintenance task; it is a matter of operational continuity. Managing non-compliant AFFF stocks and contaminated wastewater requires a partner who understands the high stakes of industrial environments. Veolia seamlessly integrates specialised PFAS treatment into your existing Toxic Industrial Waste and Hazardous Substances management framework. We ensure your facility remains fully compliant with the 2026 mandates while maintaining uninterrupted operational continuity and production flow.
