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.
