Claros Technologies Expands into Europe with Successful PFAS Destruction Pilot

Claros Technologies, known for its PFAS destruction technology, has announced its successful commercial-scale pilot of the ClarosTechUV™ system at Bachem AG's campus in Bubendorf, Switzerland. This marks Claros' entrance into European markets and pharmaceutical manufacturing, specifically targeting trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in industrial wastewater.

The pilot at Bachem, a leading peptide and oligonucleotide APIs manufacturer, validates the system’s efficiency under real-world conditions and reinforces PFAS destruction's role in sustainable manufacturing. With increasing regulatory focus on PFAS, Bachem’s proactive adoption of ClarosTechUV™ aligns with responsible environmental practices.

Unlike traditional methods that generate disposable waste, ClarosTechUV™ permanently destroys PFAS at the source using a UV photochemical process. This initiative highlights both Bachem's and Claros' commitment to integrating environmental responsibility into pharmaceutical production.
