Notes to Editors
Xeros Technology Group plc is a platform technology Group that
is transforming water intensive industrial and commercial
processes.
Xeros' patented XOrb(TM) technologies significantly reduce the
amount of water used in the washing or dyeing of soft substrates
such as garments and fabrics. They enable the remaining water to
become far more efficient and effective in either affixing or
removing molecules, the result being improvements in economic,
operational, product and sustainability outcomes. The Group is
applying its technology in the fields of cleaning, tanning and
textiles.
Xeros' XDrum(TM) technology is a patented, simple, low cost
machine drum design which enables XOrbs to be introduced into and
subsequently removed from process cycles in Xeros' chosen markets.
The design enables rotating drum machine Original Equipment
Manufacturers ("OEMs") in the fields of garment manufacture and
cleaning, the ability to make simple and low cost changes in their
production lines to incorporate the Company's XOrb(TM)
technology.
The Group has signed multiple agreements to develop and license
its XDrum(TM) and XOrb(TM) products in major commercial and
domestic markets.
XFiltra(TM) is a patented in-machine filtration technology which
is designed to prevent harmful micro-plastics generated by washing
cycles from being released into the aquacycle. Plastics released
from synthetic clothing during washing cycles is one of the single
largest sources of primary micro-plastic pollution. For more
