About Oxyle

Oxyle engineers PFAS destruction systems that permanently eliminate PFAS from wastewater, including the toughest-to-treat short- and ultrashort-chain compounds.

Each system is fine-tuned to the site’s water chemistry, operational constraints, and discharge requirements—ensuring performance under real operating conditions. From environmental remediation firms to industrial operators, we help businesses meet tightening discharge limits, reduce operational and financial risk, and move toward a cleaner water future.

Founded in Switzerland in 2020, we’re on a mission to protect our waters from PFAS. Down to the last drop.

About the Product

Oxyle develops modular PFAS destruction systems fine-tuned to each site's water chemistry, flow rates, and discharge requirements. Destruction forms the core, while additional steps for matrix optimization, concentration and separation, and monitoring stages are added as needed to optimize overall performance, efficiency, and integration with existing infrastructure.

Dr. Fajer Mushtaq's path to co-founding Oxyle was significantly shaped by her early life experiences with water scarcity and contamination. Born in the water-rich region of Kashmir and later relocating to water-scarce Delhi, she developed a profound awareness of the vital need for access to clean water. These formative experiences drove her to pursue a PhD at ETH Zurich, where she dedicated her studies to developing technologies aimed at improving water quality. It was during this time that she met Dr. Silvan Staufert, and together they founded Oxyle, united by a shared mission to tackle the complex global issue of water contamination. Four years later, Oxyle is a team over 35 highly motivated engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs - all committed to protecting our waters from forever chemicals, forever.
