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. It enables 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.
