Cyclopure, Inc. is a materials science and environmental engineering firm that specializes in the development and commercialization of DEXSORB, a proprietary, plant-derived, and renewable adsorbent designed to remove PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from water. The technology functions through molecular selectivity, allowing for the effective capture of diverse PFAS structures regardless of chain length or functional group. Cyclopure utilizes this technology across a range of applications, including household filtration systems, PFAS water testing services, and large-scale engineered treatment solutions for industrial and municipal water management. Its approach features a reusable media design, which enables the concentration of captured PFAS waste for more efficient downstream destruction.

The company serves a broad customer base, including homeowners seeking safe drinking water, industrial facilities, and government agencies, such as the Department of Defense. By providing PFAS remediation that performs consistently across varying water conditions, Cyclopure addresses critical public health and environmental concerns related to forever chemicals. The company has demonstrated the efficacy of its systems through pilot programs and full-scale deployments in diverse settings, ranging from landfill leachate treatment to municipal drinking water projects. Through strategic partnerships, such as with Kurita Water Industries, Cyclopure continues to scale its operations, aiming to provide accessible, affordable, and sustainable water treatment solutions that meet increasingly stringent regulatory standards.
