Oxyle destroys forever chemicals like PFAS in water with a catalytic reactor that generates hydroxyl radicals on its surface, chemically breaking down micropollutants that activated carbon and ion exchange only trap and relocate. The Swiss company raised a 16.0 million dollar Series A in 2025 led by 360 Capital, taking its total funding to 19.0 million dollars.
Suez catalogs 49 audited water-treatment products for utilities confronting PFAS contamination, and the route it reaches for first is granular activated carbon, the adsorption media inside its Carbazur filters. Of that portfolio, 42 lines run on physical or biological processes, the workhorses municipalities deploy across North America and beyond.
💧 SUEZ in North America is the US’ second-largest environmental services firm.
