Business highlights from the first quarter of 2024:
- Launched water equipment subsidiary to capitalize on opportunities in PFAS and water treatment.
- Appointed key industry leaders to board of water equipment subsidiary: Sally Gutierrez, former U.S. EPA Senior Advisor for Water; Jeffrey Kightlinger, recognized water industry leader; and Larry Dick, former Vice Chairman of the board of Metropolitan Water District of Orange County.
- The U.S. EPA finalized two important sets of regulations on PFAS that will influence the growth of the PFAS treatment market and may disproportionately favor our PFAS treatment technology because of its high efficacy against all types of PFAS and its low rate of production of solid PFAS-laden waste as a treatment byproduct.
- Clyra is making substantial investments for scaled-up distribution of its Bioclynse line of products and contracting with third parties for FDA-compliant product manufacturing.
