The Zurich-based scale-up impressed the jury with its innovative solution to combat PFAS, the so-called \u201cforever chemicals.\u201d These highly toxic substances accumulate in our groundwater and drinking water, as well as in our bodies. Founder Dr. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/fajer-mushtaq-0908\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fajer Mustaq<\/a> and her team have developed a technology that removes PFAS and permanently breaks them down. With this, Oxyle makes a significant contribution to protecting the environment and human health. As an independent foundation, the Green Business Award is being presented for the seventh time to companies that combine ecological impact with economic success.     <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Switzerland is heavily contaminated with PFAS. Studies show that these highly toxic forever chemicals can be detected at more than half of all groundwater monitoring sites and in human blood samples. All soils examined also contain PFAS \u2013 even remote locations such as the Matterhorn. These substances increase the risk of cancer and infertility, damage the immune and hormonal systems, and, due to their extreme stability, remain in the environment for centuries.   <\/p>\n\n<p>This is precisely where Oxyle comes in: the ETH spin-off has developed a technology that not only removes PFAS from water but completely destroys them. With this solution, Oxyle convinced the jury of Switzerland\u2019s most important sustainability award. Doris Leuthard, former Federal Councilor and President of the jury, says: \u201cThe classification of PFAS contamination is still relatively new and much remains unclear. One thing is certain: in addition to political solutions to prevent PFAS, we also need approaches like Oxyle\u2019s that permanently break down chemicals already circulating in the environment.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are PFAS chemicals?<\/h3>\n\n<p>PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are odorless and tasteless chemicals that are extremely persistent \u2013 hence the term \u201cforever chemicals.\u201d3 Due to their water-, grease- and dirtrepellent properties, they are used in countless everyday products: outdoor clothing, cosmetics, Teflon pans, dental floss and even toilet paper. At the same time, PFAS enter soils, bodies of water and plants through industrial wastewater, firefighting foams or sewage sludge, and spread further throughout the environment. Over time, they also find their way into food, drinking water and everyday consumer goods.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From a childhood dream to innovation<\/h3>\n\n<p>Oxyle\u2019s founder and CEO, Dr. Fajer Mustaq, grew up in Delhi and was confronted with the issue of water pollution from an early age. These formative experiences motivated Mustaq to found Oxyle. Together with her team, which now numbers 30, she develops customized, scalable and energyefficient solutions that fully eliminate even the short-chain PFAS that have so far been particularly difficult to break down.4 Dr. Fajer Mustaq is delighted to receive the award: \u201cProtecting our waters has been a personal conviction of mine for a long time, and it\u2019s one our team shares. We\u2019re very honored to see Oxyle\u2019s work recognized with the Green Business Award.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainable innovations in the spotlight<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Green Business Award was presented for the seventh time. At the final event at Impact Gstaad, Oxyle prevailed against two companies: <a href=\"https:\/\/voltiris.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Voltiris<\/a>, which uses solar modules for greenhouses without reducing crop yields, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everllence.com\/\">Everllence<\/a>, whose large-scale heat pump supplies entire cities with climateneutral district heating. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Green Business Award is Switzerland&#8217;s most prestigious sustainability award and offers finalists a unique opportunity to finance their growth. \u201cWith the Green Business Award, we want to give visibility to companies that demonstrate that sustainability is a business opportunity. Our finalists show what is possible when the economy takes responsibility,\u201d says C\u00e9dric Habermacher, Director of Green Business Switzerland. The selection process follows a multi-stage procedure. The main jury includes prominent figures such as Mich\u00e8le Rodoni, CEO of die Mobiliar, Axpo CEO Christoph Brand, and Prof. Dr. Reto Knutti of ETH Zurich.     <\/p>\n\n<p>Source : Press Release<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8716\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3585-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8714\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3693-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3634-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"8718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleantech-alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC3613-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s Green Business Award goes to Oxyle.
