• Industries must adopt environmental technologies such as HydRestor™ Technology to capture contaminants emitted during industrial processes.
• The high-quality pelletised activated carbon sorbent by Carbonxt (ASX:CG1) decreases nutrient loading as well as phosphorus concentrations in waterphase applications.
• Carbonxt will present HydRestor at two major US water industry trade shows.
• The Florida Department of Environmental Protection selected the technology as the treatment option for an Innovative Technology Grant.

The problem of untreated wastewater is fast becoming a menace for the planet. Many industries discharge wastewater untreated, directly into the water bodies.

There is an urgent need to adopt environmental technologies that capture contaminants emitted during industrial processes and help businesses in better compliance with air and water emission requirements.  

This is certainly important because there has been greater emphasis on economic goals over global environmental issues such as maintaining water and air quality near industrial sites.

“By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally,” says a report by the United Nations.

To curb the global problem of wastewater treatment, Carbonxt (ASX:CG1) offers its patented HydRestor™ Technology, which is due to be presented at two major US water industry trade shows.
