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.
