About Xeros
Xeros Technology plc has developed patented and proven, industry-leading
technologies which reduce the environmental impact of how industries make and
care for clothes.
The traditional wet processing methods used in industrial and domestic laundry
and garment manufacturing consume billions of litres of fresh water and large
amounts of energy and chemicals, as well as damaging and weakening clothing
fibres and creating rising levels of environmental pollution. It is estimated
that washing machines contribute 35% of the 171 trillion microplastic
particles in the ocean.
A range of actors, including consumers, the media NGOs and regulators are
exerting pressure on these industries, with legislative action beginning to be
taken.
Xeros' three main technologies, Filtration, Finish, and Care, facilitate
garment manufacturers, industrial laundries, domestic washing machine
manufacturers and consumers, to reduce their environmental impact, whilst also
significantly improving efficiency in the process.
Xeros' model is to generate revenue from licensing its technologies,
generating royalties and the sale of consumables. Currently there are 8
agreements in place. The addressable markets in Filtration, Finish and Care
are estimated to be valued at £350m p.a., £132m p.a. and £3bn p.a.
respectively.
