Zymatic, Perstorp and RISE join forces to use enzyme-based treatment solutions for water reuse and circularity

In a collaboration aimed at addressing the global challenge of water scarcity, Zymatic, Perstorp, and RISE are proud to announce their partnership to implement an innovative enzyme-based solution for water reuse. This initiative, called EnZircle and funded by Vinnova, brings together industry-leading expertise from each organization, leveraging advanced biotechnological approaches to create sustainable water management practices.

Water scarcity is a pressing challenge faced by industries worldwide, making the development of effective water reuse and circularity systems critical. This partnership focuses on harnessing the power of enzymes to enhance the treatment and recycling of water across various applications, resulting in improved efficacy and sustainability.

“Water is a vital resource, and our collaboration signifies a commitment to finding sustainable solutions that can benefit industries and communities alike,” said Christian Ryen, COO at Zymatic. “By combining our strengths, we can provide effective tools that help manage this invaluable resource more sustainably.”

The project aims to explore the potential of enzyme-based treatments to effectively break down contaminants in some selected processes. At the same time, the project participants will review the circularity possibilities and reuse process on the site. Targeting water professionals, the initiative strives to equip industry colleagues with practical solutions that are both efficient and environmentally responsible.

The project will be conducted during 2024/2025 and as the project progresses, Zymatic, Perstorp, and RISE will provide updates on their advancements and eventual implementation strategies.
