PFAS has been detected in the blood of 97% of Americans. It does not biodegrade. Most technologies capture it, concentrate it, or move it somewhere else. 374Water’s technology destroys it permanently. On June 9, the company upgraded the facility that does that.
374Water Expands Iron Bridge Facility Targeting $3 Million to $5 Million in Annual Waste Destruction Revenue
374Water Inc. (Nasdaq: SCWO) announced on June 9 that it had expanded its Iron Bridge facility with an additional 88,000 gallons of tank storage and upgraded AirSCWO (supercritical water oxidation — a process that uses extreme heat and pressure to permanently break apart PFAS and other persistent organic compounds into inert byproducts including water and benign minerals) capacity. The company is targeting $3 million to $5 million in annual Waste Destruction Services revenue at initial scale, with ongoing negotiations to potentially double that.
The commercial picture behind this announcement is worth understanding. 374Water has a mobile AirSCWO unit running in St. Cloud, Minnesota under a $600,000 contract destroying PFAS-contaminated biosolids. A second system is contracted for Olathe, Kansas. The Orlando, Florida facility is an established WDS hub. The company recently completed a factory acceptance test for Orange County Sanitation District in California, one of the largest wastewater treatment operations in the United States. Iron Bridge is the next piece.
Q1 2026 revenue was $551,155 with a 63% gross margin, up from 25% a year earlier. The net loss was $4.57 million. Cash was thin. The company carries going concern language in its SEC filings and has an at-the-market equity program of up to $50 million outstanding through Lake Street Capital. Stock at $2.31 as of June 12. Market cap $38.84 million. For a company with a $450 billion global addressable market in PFAS destruction alone, the commercialization runway is long. Filings on SEC EDGAR.
PureCycle Technologies Demonstrates Recycled Polypropylene Resin in Commercial Flexible Packaging Applications
On June 9, PureCycle Technologies (Nasdaq: PCT) announced the successful production and trial evaluation of white, cavitated biaxially oriented polypropylene film using its recycled resin in collaboration with a flexible packaging manufacturer. The applications tested were snack, confectionery, and roll-fed label packaging.
The significance is technical. BOPP film (biaxially oriented polypropylene, a thin, clear film used in food packaging, labels, and flexible packaging — oriented in two directions to improve strength and clarity) is a high-performance application. Demonstrating that post-consumer recycled polypropylene resin can meet the production specifications of a commercial BOPP line is the step between laboratory proof-of-concept and manufacturable product.
Stanley Druckenmiller disclosed in a 13F that his position in PCT remains unchanged at 2.3 million shares. The company has had a difficult period. PureCycle is building toward commercial scale at its Ironton, Ohio facility. Demonstrating the resin in demanding flexible packaging applications gives customers a reason to specify it.

Follow-Up: TeraWulf Receives Bank of America Buy Initiation at $34 as Google Commits $1.8 Billion in Lease Financing
Bank of America Securities initiated coverage of TeraWulf (Nasdaq: WULF) with a Buy rating and $34 price target on June 15, one day after the close of this coverage window. Analyst Michael Funk cited the company’s pivot from volatile Bitcoin mining toward AI data center infrastructure, valued the stock at 9.5x 2028 revenue, and noted a development pipeline expected to reach 1.8 to 3.0 gigawatts of critical IT load capacity by the end of the decade.
The Google detail that appeared this week in analyst coverage is worth noting separately. Google is backing lease financing for large TeraWulf HPC clients including Fluidstack, covering an initial $1.8 billion in lease obligations expected to grow to $3.2 billion. Google also holds an equity stake through warrants expected to reach 14% of the company. TeraWulf has a $3.7 billion, 10-year HPC colocation agreement in place. The combination of Google as a financing partner, an institutional investor, and an implicit customer validator is unusual at this stage of a data center company’s development. We covered TeraWulf’s Muskie Kentucky campus acquisition and its Fluence collaboration last month.
Upcoming Catalysts: 374Water OC San Deployment, PureCycle Ironton Ramp, TeraWulf Lake Mariner Completion
374Water OC San: the factory acceptance test is complete. Deployment is targeted for October 2026 pending permitting and site-readiness approval. Any update on the permitting timeline or a deployment commencement announcement is the next milestone.
PureCycle Ironton: the commercial facility in Ohio is building toward consistent commercial output. Any production volume update or additional commercial agreements for the recycled resin in performance packaging applications is the next signal.
TeraWulf Lake Mariner: BofA cited completion of the Lake Mariner campus in New York by year-end 2026 as a near-term catalyst. Any construction completion announcement or first HPC workload activation at the New York site moves this forward.
