RESPONSIBILITY

Metabar® goal is to help our customers improve their ecological, social and financial responsibility by increasing awareness and encouraging them to pay attention to sustainable development.

• ​Metabar has a patented technology, which can REMARKABLY DECREASE THE WATER CONSUMPTION (water demand) incurring during industrial processes, like washing.
  
  
• Other water technology companies take water consumption volumes as a given parameter - and focus on maintaining/improving the water supply through closed-loop water recycling.
  
  
• Our approach is more sustainable in the longer run as our solution creates less waste water and do not require chemical purification processes.
  
  
• The value and benefits of the Metabar solution for the customer are, for example, the need for smaller storage spaces, weight reduction and optimization of various logistical needs, and even complete elimination. Em. benefits from service solutions include financial savings and reduced emissions.

METABAR ® BRINGS A PARADIGM SHIFT
​TO INDUSTRIAL WATER SUSTAINABILITY

• PURPOSE: to help our industrial customers to improve their water sustainability level beyond the regulatory requirements in order to bring them competitive leverage.
  
  
• PATENTED TECHNOLOGY, which can REMARKABLY DECREASE THE WATER CONSUMPTION (water demand) incurring during industrial processes, like washing.
  
  
• NO DIRECT COMPETITIORS: Other water technology companies take water consumption volumes as a given parameter - and are focusing on maintaining/improving the water supply through closed-loop water recycling.
  
  
• ​WATER SUSTAINABILITY: Decreased water/liquid consumption during an industrial process means also decreased waste water volumes. Additional value propositions: no need for chemical purification of water, smaller footprint/weight for water/liquid tanks, more optimized logistics of the to-be-processed products/items.
  
  
• REFERENCES: Metabar has references how our solution will bring REMARKABLE OPEX COSTS SAVINGS.

NEW WATER SUSTAINABILITY EU REQUIREMENTS

https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal6​

https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal9​​

New EU regulations already published:

• EU Taxonomy (2021) + Delegated Acts
• EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) + related 1. Delegated Acts in Feb 2024 ("ESRS standards")
  
  ESRS E3 Water and marine resources
  
  ➡ Metabar-solution enables better performance reporting in e.g. ESPR E3-4 Water consumption
  
  ➡ Obligatory to include ESRD E3 requirements into the "double materiality" analysis, if a company operates in areas of water scarcity / water stress
  
  
• Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), July 2024
  

New EU regulation still in the pipeline, e.g.

• "Green Claims Directive"
  
• Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)

Metabar's value propositions relating to CSRD:

• A solution enabling outstandig compliance
  
  
• Low water consumption =>
  A competitive edge in future procurement competitions

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

KEY ENABLERS

• 3D metal printed nozzles – tailor-made to each customer's needs
  
  
• Combination of pressured gas (e.g. air) and liquids (e.g. water) – creating a mist or spray effect Sensors (well-known Intr'l partners)
  
  
• Software, which controls the combined flows of liquids and gases, from 0,1 bar up (no upper limit), based on the approriate sensor data & parameters

ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES

• A system solution, which can decrease the liquid consumption up to 80%-90% !
  
  
• E.g. a washing process, which can vary fluently from "gentle" to "intensive" based on the fast changing needs
  
  
• Less water consumption -> less water abstraction -> more water sustainability in water stress/scarcity areas
  ​
  
• Reputational benefit in future sustainability-focused "green claims" / competition / procurement within EU
  

"The main goal is TO REDUCE OVERALL CONSUMPTION (footprint) and help the world's INDUSTRY WITH INNOVATIVE OPERATIONS EFFECTIVELY achieve THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS of each domain and help our Clients to prepare and face the new ESG REGULATIONS."

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Metabar's technology is based on utilizing the energy of pressurized gas controlled by flows and sensors. With it, the liquid is delivered to the 3D metal printed and 100% customizable nozzles.

The nozzle method creates an appropriate mist or spray effect, which can be infinitely adjusted over a wide pressure range, starting from 0.1 bar and up without an upper limit. Nozzles are used to create a desired spray, mist or other controlled functional combination of compressed gas and liquid using a special method. The system aimed at optimizing and reducing consumption is patented.

The core components of the device solution are the nozzles realized as a result of 3D design and 3D metal printed. The number of nozzles and the size of the device unit are defined according to the customer's needs. The system is an intelligently  controlled and sensor-equipped procedure solution for pressurized gas and liquids, the device unit of which is built for the customer either as a series product or as a customized service.
