Oxyle and Waterleau join forces in the fight against PFAS contamination
Partnership agreement signed for the sustainable removal of PFAS from the environment
Oxyle, the Swiss pioneering water treatment startup, and Waterleau announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This MoU marks a pivotal moment in the global effort to combat micropollutants in water resources.
Joining forces for the complete elimination of PFAS
The strategic partnership marks a decisive moment in the global fight against micropollutants in water resources. Both companies are addressing the growing concerns about micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides and especially per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), in water bodies.
With tightening regulations and increasing public pressure, the PFAS treatment market has experienced significant growth, particularly in Europe and the US. Waterleau, with its extensive global presence and expertise in water and wastewater treatment, recognizes the urgent need for innovative solutions to eliminate these persistent chemicals.
Waterleau takes a holistic approach to PFAS treatment, viewing each PFAS contaminant as unique and providing a customized solution. Unlike single solution providers, the Belgian company prioritizes customization to address specific challenges. Oxyle's expertise enriches Waterleau's PFAS treatment portfolio, which now offers comprehensive solutions for the on-site destruction of the chemicals.
Oxyle brings to the partnership pioneering technologies focused on the destruction and mineralization of micropollutants, including a nanoporous catalyst capable of eliminating a broad spectrum of PFAS. Oxyle's collaborative approach emphasizes scaling technology and operations, with a strong focus on partnering with industry leaders for rapid market entry.
Unlocking the technology potential to destroy PFAS
By integrating Oxyle's technologies into Waterleau's PFAS treatment portfolio, both partners aim to strengthen their market positions and provide efficient solutions for global customers. With this partnership, both companies outline their joint endeavor focused on commercializing Oxyle's leading-edge PFAS removal technology. It establishes Waterleau's commitment to prioritize Oxyle's technology in current and future projects.
Jeroen De Lathouwer, VP Business Development at Waterleau, adds: "In our mission to combat PFAS, Oxyle plays an essential role. Their breakthrough technology not only efficiently removes stubborn short-chain PFAS from wastewater, but also does so with remarkably low energy consumption, setting new standards in the industry. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and continue our journey to tackle these harmful chemicals."
Dr. Fajer Mushtaq, CEO and co-founder of Oxyle, comments: "We are thrilled to join forces with Waterleau to strengthen the fight against water pollution. By combining Oxyle's innovative technologies with Waterleau's extensive global footprint and expertise in water and wastewater treatment, we are taking not just one step, but a giant leap towards our shared vision of PFAS-free waters."
