Following the latest successful tests, Schiphol processed its first batch of contaminated soil through the PFAS soil treatment facility in July. Now that the facility is fully operational, we would like to give local residents the opportunity to see it up close.
This summer, Schiphol commissioned the PFAS soil treatment facility located next to the Zwanenburg Runway. Over the next three years, the facility will treat 200,000 tonnes of PFAS-contaminated soil generated by construction and maintenance activities at Schiphol and currently stored at temporary storage locations. In doing so, we will remove part of the PFAS from the environment and enable most of the soil to be reused at Schiphol.
As we received many questions from local residents in the run-up to construction, we would like to offer the opportunity to visit the soil treatment facility and see how it operates. For this reason, the site will be open to the public on the morning of Saturday 12 September.
Would you like to attend? Please use the link below to register and select a time slot.
Coffee and refreshments will be available, and representatives from Schiphol and DEME (the operator of the facility) will be on hand to provide a brief guided tour of the site, explain how the facility works, and answer any questions you may have.
Please register no later than Friday 4 September 2026.
Please note that the PFAS soil treatment facility is an environmental treatment installation subject to standard health, safety and access regulations. As a result, the site is not accessible to children under the age of 18 or to pregnant women.
