Christmas 23, 2024

Helios Innovations announces that the company has entered into an agreement with Presto Group to manage waste water from discarded foam fire extinguishers. The partnership marks an important step towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly waste management in industry.

"We are very pleased to be partnering with Presto, a company that shares our vision of a sustainable future. By using our water treatment technology for process water containing high levels of PFAS, we are working together for a more sustainable industry.” says Johanna Gillberg, COO of Helios Innovations. "This agreement clearly shows our ambition to offer an innovative and efficient solution for waste management."

Presto Group, a leader in fire safety, first aid and safety training, has chosen Helios Innovations as a partner to ensure that their waste water is managed in an environmentally conscious way. The collaboration means that Helios Innovations will receive waste water with high levels of PFAS to its facility IDA in Halmstad. By reducing the volume of water that needs to be destroyed, Helio's solution contributes to reduced transport of waste to destruction, as well as more cost-effective handling of this type of highly concentrated PFAS waste.

"In addition to treating the waste water at our facility in Halmstad, we are also collaborating with Presto to investigate the possibilities of developing a circular treatment solution directly at their facility. We are at an early stage, but we are optimistic about the potential of this sustainable solution,” adds Johanna, COO of Helios Innovations.
