Stillwater, Oklahoma Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Weaver labsLLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for breakthrough chemical innovation. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent Application No. 20240010524, titled ‘Compounds and processes for remediation of perfluoroalkyl’, introduces a new method for removing toxic “forever chemicals” from the environment.

This patent addresses a major global concern: perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which resist natural breakdown and contaminate water supplies. Weaver Labs’ invention uses engineered compounds that react with and neutralize PFAS molecules at the molecular level.

The process is both targeted and efficient. It can be applied directly to contaminated sites, including soil and groundwater. This dramatically reduces long-term exposure risks for people and ecosystems without the need for costly or invasive cleanup techniques.

Unlike conventional filtration systems that merely capture PFAS, the new method breaks down the chemical bonds that make these pollutants so persistent. This innovation offers a real solution to a growing environmental and public health threat.

Weaver Labs LLC has developed a practical, scalable approach that could change how industries, municipalities, and environmental agencies tackle PFAS remediation. By turning cutting-edge chemistry into actionable technology, they are helping to create cleaner, safer communities.
