Claros Technologies has closed a $55 million Series B financing round. The funding will accelerate global rollout of the company’s PFAS destruction technology.
Claros focuses on destroying PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals used across many industries. Its proprietary system is called ClarosTechUV. The company also runs ClarosLabs, a mobile lab for PFAS analysis. Both are set to expand with the new capital.
Treehouse Family Capital led the round. Daikin America, Veralto, Bush Foundation, Nord Asset Management and Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation also participated, alongside existing investors.
The technology lets industries keep using PFAS in critical applications, including semiconductors, aerospace and pharmaceuticals. At the same time, it destroys the chemicals at industrial scale. That combination appeals to manufacturers under growing regulatory pressure.
The funding will expand manufacturing capacity and support new deployments across North America, Europe and Asia. It will also fund product development and hiring in engineering and commercial operations.
Michelle Bellanca, chief executive and co-founder of Claros, said the company has moved from breakthrough technology to commercial reality over the past year. She pointed to recent groundwater remediation results as proof the technology performs well beyond industrial settings.
Jack Cogen of Treehouse Family Capital said Claros has reached a turning point. He said the question is no longer whether the technology works, but how fast it can scale.
Claros has hit several milestones recently. In December 2025, working with Daikin America, the company completed one of the largest in-field PFAS destruction demonstrations to date. It achieved over 99.99% destruction across long, short and ultra-short chain PFAS compounds. In April 2026, similar results were confirmed in groundwater remediation using concentrate from roughly one million gallons of water.
Regulatory pressure is building globally. Europe is weighing broader PFAS restrictions under REACH, while U.S. agencies continue tightening drinking water and discharge standards.
