One million euros for water filter start-up
Klar2O is dedicated to filtering nano- and microplastics from water. Bremen-based FMC has already invested over 100,000 euros and promises a seven-figure investment.
The WHO also found microplastics in tap water in 2019. The start-up Klar2O is dedicated to filtering not only microplastics but also nanoplastics through inter- and intramolecular forces that act on the plastic and hold it in place while the clean water continues to flow. Bremen-based FMC Beteiligungs KG sees potential in this technology and has already invested 110,000 euros in the start-up. As soon as the third Klar2O prototype is ready, FMC plans to invest as much as one million euros.
Fähzan Ahmad founded Klar2O in 2019 during his studies at Saarland University. The effectiveness of his filters has already been confirmed by an independent testing body, and series production is set to start once the third prototype is certified. Ahmad has already won a pilot customer: A water bottler that sells its bottles to supermarkets. The name is still unknown.
