Zurich, Switzerland, July 10, 2025 – Oxyle is taking a major step forward in the fight against Forever Chemicals contamination. The company is launching Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions — modular treatments built to eliminate the most challenging short and ultra-short chain PFAS.  

Key takeaways 

  • Oxyle launches PFAS Solutions—modular systems built especially to eliminate the most challenging short and ultra-short chain PFAS. 
  • Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions combines proprietary technologies (OxFoam, OxLight, and OxSignal) with best-in-class methods from across the industry. 
  • The decision comes in response to strong customer demand and years of deep, lab and field-tested PFAS remediation experience. 

Responding to market demand

Over the past five years, Oxyle has worked alongside some of the most dedicated remediators, researchers, industrials, and policymakers in the field. Each is driven by the same goals: Stop PFAS pollution, meet regulations, and do what is right for people and the planet. While the PFAS remediation industry has made a tremendous amount of progress in that time, these goals are still being held up by a set of incredibly tough, and to date, unresolved challenges.  

First, many technologies struggle to remove the most stubborn short and ultra-short chain compounds. Some even leave more of these pollutants behind.  

Second, no single technology is enough. PFAS concentrations, water matrices, flow rates, co-contaminants, and other factors all vary from site to site.  

If real impact is to be made, the world needs solutions built for this complexity. Ones that adapt to the water and tackle the most challenging compounds. 

That is why Oxyle is taking a new direction. 

Introducing Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions

Oxyle started with a single, core technology. Now, they are launching Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions. 

These are modular, adaptable PFAS systems that combine Oxyle’s proprietary technologies with best-in-class methods from across the industry. They are built to eliminate even the most challenging PFAS, short and ultra-short chains, and are tailored to the chemistry and constraints of each site. 

Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions are comprised of several proprietary technologies, including: 

  • OxFoam: Oxyle’s foam fractionation technology separates and concentrates PFAS. 
  • OxLight: Oxyle’s photochemical reduction technology eliminates PFAS, including high concentrations of short and ultra-short chains. 
  • OxSignal: Oxyle’s real-time monitoring platform delivers continuous insights into treatment performance. 

Each of these proprietary technologies is powerful on its own. But the most effective solutions are those that bring multiple technologies together, tailored to the unique demands of each site. That is the future Oxyle is building towards. 

As Oxyle sharpens its focus, they have made the strategic decision to retire their early-stage technology, the piezocatalyst. Oxyle is committed to solving their customers’ short and ultra-short chain PFAS challenges, and to do that, they are focusing on the technologies best suited – and most competitive – to meet them.

“We’re shifting our focus to deliver modular solutions that address the toughest short and ultra-short chain PFAS challenges our customers face. It’s a decision that is directly shaped by what we’ve heard from the market and experienced on-site,” said Fajer Mushtaq, CEO and Co-Founder of Oxyle. “Oxyle’s PFAS Solutions is the next step in fulfilling our mission. We want to live in a world where everyone has access to clean water, and we hope others will join us in making that a reality.” 

 

About Oxyle

Oxyle Founders

Growing up in Delhi, every time Fajer turned the faucet, she faced a familiar anxiety: Was it clean? Would there be enough? From a young age, she vowed to make water her life’s mission.

While pursuing a doctorate at ETH Zurich, Fajer met Silvan, another idealist who understood that when it comes to water treatment, innovations can’t come soon enough and he knew that his broad engineering skills would find a great use in this mission.

Together, they saw their chance to make a real impact by addressing one of humanity’s greatest challenges: Forever Chemicals.

Realizing the lack of effective solutions, they created a technology that could degrade and mineralize Forever Chemicals in minutes. They knew this innovation could change the world, but only if it graduated out of the lab and into the real world.

In 2020, Oxyle was born with a singular mission: to restore and protect our waters from Forever Chemicals, down to the very last drop.
