Let’s talk about the number everyone asks for.
69%.
In C-Biotech’s Campus Vesta field trials in Belgium, a proportion of trial plots were brought below the Flemish remediation norm in a single crop cycle – reductions of up to around 69% – with the results validated by SGS Belgium.
Read that again:
Not “someday.”
Not “in a lab.”
In a crop cycle.
If we can achieve similar outcomes in Australia + NZ conditions, it could change everything about how contaminated land is treated:
– fewer cycles to reach targets
– faster pathways to decision-making
– potentially lower cost curves
– and most importantly… assets that can move again
Now the responsible part:
PFAS is messy. Sites are different. Chemistry varies. Results aren’t copy‑paste.
That’s why we’re doing the work properly: baseline → field program → independent verification.
But the opportunity is real.
Because if you can reduce contamination materially without excavation as the default, the remediation playbook changes.
