Born out of textile research and advancing standards for performance and environmental responsibility, Xeros Technology are helping to reduce the significant environmental impact clothing has on our planet by conserving water and preventing waste. Our pioneering work has, to date, created 38 patent families.
Our technology provides cost-effective solutions for garment manufacture and clothing care within the $2.5 trillion fashion industry and the $55 billion domestic washing machine market. Our addressable markets for the Laundry Care System, MicroFibre Pollution Filter and Denim Production System are estimated to be £350M, £132M and £3B per annum respectively. Our strategy is to become an IP-rich, capital-light licensor of proprietary technology solutions to multiple scale industries, all of which deploy the same Xeros Technology core technologies.
To enable these technologies to have a far-reaching impact, our strategy is to license our intellectual property to partners across the globe with significant market share, who demonstrate a strategic intent to deliver increased levels of sustainability, empowering them to scale our innovations.
Our technologies are already in application in major global industries through 8 licensing and partner agreements, including commercial and home laundry, the cleaning of specialist workwear, and garment manufacture. So far, it has saved millions of litres of water and could prevent billions of microfibres from ending up in our oceans.
Our textiles technologies are just the beginning of our long-term mission to reduce waste wherever possible.
Even on an eco-setting, washing our clothes releases 700,000 microfibres with every wash. Those tiny fibres can have a lasting impact. They end up in our oceans, in our food chain and in our water supply.
Our MicroFibre Pollution Filter technology, can be integrated into a washing machine for the home, used as an external stand-alone device, or built at a large scale for industry. It stops over 99% of microplastics from ever entering our oceans.
Multiple partnerships with three leading European component manufacturers, including Hanning Elektro-Werke, means our XFilter technology is now available as a licensed product, ready for installation as a component part. We continue to work directly with a number of OEMs on bespoke XFilter solutions.
To drive forward change, we are working with the UK, French, and California legislation authorities to ensure washing machine filtration becomes a mandatory solution for our planet.
Legislation has already been approved in France and will come into force in 2025. In the UK, a private members bill is being considered by DEFRA and Xeros Technology are a member of the working party. California has a bill currently progressing through the Senate that Xeros Technology are supporting. The European Union are expected to release guidance on preventing microplastic pollution later this year, you can read our campaigning whitepaper here and Australia has industry-led washing machine filtration being phased in for all new machines by 2030 as part of the National Plastics Act.
What if we told you that you can do your laundry using less water? Using only half the energy and half the chemicals? And that the fabric would look newer, spending longer in your wardrobe.
Our care technology uses XOrbs, reusable polymer spheres, to wash and care for clothes. It’s scalable from domestic washes to heavy industrial use, and it’s designed to save 10’s of millions of litres of water every year.
IFB Industries, working in partnership with Xeros Technology, will introduce the first home washing machine to care for clothing with our Laundry Care System technology.
Commerical Laundry Care System machines are already in market in India, China and Europe.
Making one pair of jeans can use up to 10 years’ worth of drinking water for one person. Chemicals used in the process escape with wastewater polluting our planet. Today, jeans are still made using pumice stones, which constantly need replacing and create chemically contaminated sludge.
Our Denim Production System technology uses patented reusable XOrbs to replace pumice and reduces water and chemistry use by up to 50%.
In the denim finishing sector, Xeros Technology are working with Yilmak, a leading supplier of garment-finishing machines. The new Xeros Technology enabled machine was launched by Yilmak at the largest global textile manufacturing show, ITMA, in 2023. In addition, through our existing licensing agreement with Ramsons, trials of our technology with multiple manufacturers are underway, making samples and jeans for a number of high-street denim brands.
