HEARING BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM OF THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT September 10, 2019 Testimony of Denise Rutherford, PhD Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, 3M Chairman Rouda, Ranking Member Comer, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today.

Linde feedback and concerns on the proposed PFAS restriction Linde as one of the refrigerant distributors in Northern Europe is fully committed to minimizing release of PFAS to the environment by continuously investing in circular economy for refrigerants including refrigerants that contain PFAS with the aim to keep refrigerants in a closed circle until they reach the end of their life cycle and move to our waste management partners where a well-controlled process is applied which destroys PFAS by destroying fluorocarbon structure and even enables recovery of hydrofluoric acid for reuse.
