Dr. Fajer Mushtaq is Co‑Founder and CEO of Oxyle. Having grown up in Delhi amid severe water scarcity and contamination, she committed early on to making clean water accessible. During her PhD at ETH Zurich she developed a novel nanomaterials‑based process for permanently degrading PFAS — the so-called "forever chemicals. Under her leadership, Oxyle has evolved from lab research into a scaling company with a first commercial installation, real‑world PFAS remediation projects, and rising global interest. Her background merges technical expertise, environmental mission, startup agility and global regulatory awareness — making her an ideal speaker to discuss PFAS‑risk, compliance, water remediation and EHS innovation.

Oxyle is a Swiss clean‑tech company, founded in 2020, dedicated to permanently eliminating PFAS contamination from water. Their proprietary, modular treatment system combines foam‑fractionation, catalytic destruction, and real‑time machine‑learning‑supported monitoring to destroy PFAS — including even the most persistent short‑ and ultrashort‑chain compounds — rather than merely filter or concentrate them. Oxyle’s technology achieves > 99% elimination of PFAS while consuming far less energy than traditional destruction methods, and avoids secondary waste streams. As of 2025, the company has completed numerous customer pilots and operates its first commercial plant, positioning itself as a global reference point for water‑ and environmental‑safety solutions in industries confronted with PFAS regulation and contamination challenges.
