Notes to Editors
Xeros Technology Group plc has developed and licenses two platform technologies which transform sustainability, performance and economics in the manufacturing and laundering of garments and fabrics.
Xeros' patented XOrbs™ which are used in conjunction with the company's XDrum™ technology significantly reduce the amount of water and chemistry used in the dyeing, finishing or laundering of garments and fabrics. They increase the efficiency of these processes which require molecules to be either affixed or removed from substrates. In the case of laundry, they are proven to significantly increase the life of clothes and fabrics. The results being major improvements in economic, operational, product and environmental outcomes.
Xeros' XDrum technology is a low-cost machine drum design which enables XOrbs to be introduced into and subsequently removed from process cycles. The design provides Original Equipment Manufacturers with the ability to make simple changes to their products to incorporate the Company's XOrb technology.
The Group has signed multiple license agreements for its XDrum and XOrb technologies with leading OEMs in major commercial and domestic markets.
XFiltra™ is the Company's proprietary washing machine filtration technology which prevents harmful microfibres including microplastics, generated during washing cycles, from being released into the world's rivers and oceans. Microfibres released into the environment from clothing and fabrics during their laundering, being a major source of pollution in the environment and contamination in the food chain.
