    Company Description

    Claros Technologies is a venture-backed, deep-tech company solving the worldwide challenge of destroying PFAS in the environment.

Claros has developed a patented, scalable destruction technology proven to fully destroy 99.99% of PFAS in customers' samples.

    We are a diverse team of scientists, business builders, and impact leaders committed to solving problems without creating new ones.
