There are two really cool #PFAS / #foreverchemicals degradation papers out in Nature today
In one, the authors show that powdered Teflon can be transformed into charcoal+fluoride with light+a catalyst+reducing reagent & some very important help from mainly KOH and Cs formate
This is bonkers cool:

Photocatalytic low-temperature defluorination of PFASs - Nature
Photocatalysis at 40–60 °C is shown to be able to defluorinate perfluoroalkyl substances, known as ‘forever chemicals’, allowing the recycling of fluorine in polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substan...
