A Technology Serving Ecology: Electrolysis at the Heart of Aquama Innovation
Electrolysis is at the core of Aquama’s innovation. This process transforms pure water, under the effect of an electric current, into a solution capable of cleaning and disinfecting with remarkable efficiency. Non-toxic and biodegradable, this electrolyzed water serves as a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional chemical products, often criticized for polluting and harming health. Deployed in demanding sectors such as industry, healthcare, food service, and hospitality, this technology meets the strictest hygiene standards. In addition to its product line, Aquama offers an intuitive mobile app to manage and locate machines, reducing the carbon impact associated with logistics. This concept makes perfect sense in the age of ecological transition.
An International Presence
After securing high-profile clients such as Veolia, IKEA, the École Hôtelière de Lausanne in Singapore, and Geneva Airport, Aquama is ready to take on a new challenge: the U.S. market. In 2024, the company was selected as one of the top 20 global companies to expand into the United States. For Willy Lionel Pomathios, this milestone is crucial: "We are proud to see our solutions adopted globally and to be selected to enter the U.S. market. This represents a major step in our mission to revolutionize cleaning and disinfection worldwide with natural, non-polluting solutions."
In Switzerland, the results are already impressive. The EPI (Public Institutions for Integration) in Geneva have adopted the latest generation of Aquama machines, ensuring total sanitary autonomy while improving the well-being of 1,500 beneficiaries and staff members. Meanwhile, Manor offers Genevans the opportunity to create their own ecological solution directly in-store in a dedicated space.
Solutions for All Sectors
Aquama’s electrolyzed water applications extend across various sectors. In industry, it ensures the cleaning of food processing plants and warehouses with uncompromised hygiene. In healthcare, it disinfects hospital surfaces, minimizing cross-contamination. For the restaurant and hospitality industries, it provides ecological maintenance for kitchens and public spaces, creating a healthy environment. For individuals, it offers a natural, safe alternative for cleaning floors or disinfecting fruits and vegetables. Many Swiss, French, and Asian municipalities also benefit from this technology through eco-sharing solutions. This communal approach allows resources to be pooled while reducing costs—a major asset in an era where environmental budgets must be optimized.
Additionally, some local governments have developed educational programs to teach citizens about the benefits of electrolyzed water. This includes workshops for schools and informational sessions for local businesses, further promoting the adoption of this technology.
Global Ecological Impact
The adoption of Aquama solutions is a significant lever for reducing the global carbon footprint. According to the company’s estimates, the use of electrolyzed water could prevent the emission of several million tons of CO2. To illustrate this impact, Willy Lionel Pomathios points out: “In 2020, 39,000 trillion tons of ethanol were produced in the United States. If everyone used Aquama, we would have avoided the equivalent of 8.5 million flights from London to New York, which is gigantic."
The numbers speak for themselves. The average annual consumption of a Swiss family using this technology corresponds to just 0.06 kg CO2. A remarkable performance that allows the company to meet the needs of businesses and municipalities seeking sustainable solutions. Aquama’s eco-responsible reports also serve as a strategic tool for large organizations wishing to communicate their environmental commitments. Furthermore, Aquama engages in partnerships with NGOs and governments to deploy solutions in regions most affected by health crises. These humanitarian initiatives demonstrate the company’s social commitment beyond its commercial activities.
A Vision Focused on the Future
Highly active on social media, where some of its TikTok videos reach nearly a million views, Aquama also positions itself as a leader in research and development. New applications, particularly based on artificial intelligence, are being rolled out to further expand the possibilities offered by electrolyzed water. For the Swiss entrepreneur, the goal is clear: "To democratize the use of electrolyzed water for cleaner, safer, and more environmentally friendly cleaning, thereby contributing to a more sustainable world." This ambition is accompanied by a desire to collaborate with academic institutions to push the boundaries of innovation even further.
The international awards received by the company, ranging from the Forbes Best Swiss Startup to the World Impact Summit in Bordeaux, recognize this innovative approach. By focusing on green and accessible technology, Aquama positions itself not only as a leader in cleaning but also as a catalyst for change toward a more sustainable future.
An App for Users
Aquama's app, available on major platforms, allows users to geo-locate machines and reduce the logistical impact while ensuring compliance with local and international standards. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this system helped meet the high demand for disinfection solutions, thus contributing to protecting the population from potential contamination. Today, new features are being developed to anticipate future crises. With a global presence, continuous innovations, and a clear vision, Aquama is proving itself as a company at the crossroads of ecology and technology, ready to shape a cleaner, more sustainable future.
