Why it matters

Water and food systems are broken

Centralised, chemical-dependent infrastructure cannot scale to meet 21st-century demand. Agriculture consumes 70% of global freshwater — inefficiently. 40% of European water bodies fail ecological standards. An integrated, deployable solution has never existed.

Zaffiré changes that. We have turned Dutch-standard water and food security into a modular system the rest of the world can deploy in days, not decades.

40%

of European water bodies fail EU ecological standards — chronic underperformance across member states

70%

of global freshwater consumed by agriculture — through inefficient, high-discharge, centralised systems

4B

people facing water scarcity annually — a number rising faster than existing infrastructure can address

€1T+

combined market across water treatment, agriculture, and aquaculture — with no integrated deployable solution

How it works

One unit.
Clean water.
Fresh food.
Zero waste.

Zaffiré integrates three proven technologies into a single, closed-loop modular platform. Each system feeds the next — nothing is wasted, everything is optimised by AI in real time.

>95% Water reuse rate
Near-zero external discharge
RO

Pure Water

Multi-stage reverse osmosis delivering ultrapure water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. Removes salinity, chemicals, and pathogens to WHO standards.

RAS

Aquaculture

Recirculating aquaculture system growing tilapia, salmon, trout, and prawns in fully controlled conditions. Nutrient-rich effluent feeds the grow containers — nothing exits the loop.

CEA

Crops

Controlled-environment agriculture with precision LED lighting. Saffron, microgreens, and herbs grown year-round, independent of climate, season, or soil quality.

AI

Intelligent Closed Loop

Predictive maintenance, automated dosing, and 24/7 remote monitoring. Every container continuously learns. Water returns to RO — the loop closes, waste disappears.

Products

Three container types.
One integrated platform.

Available in 20FT and 40FT configurations. Fully integrated on arrival. Off-grid capable. No local infrastructure required.

Deployment

Pilots → Cooperatives →
Global infrastructure

A four-phase expansion from Dutch and Italian pilots to regional cooperative networks and, ultimately, global infrastructure through our India operations hub.

ACTIVE PHASE
2026

Pilot Deployments

Netherlands and Puglia, Italy — initial deployments validating unit performance, system integration, and real-world operational economics across multiple site types.

5–10 containers · NL + Italy
2027–2028

Cooperative Networks

Agricultural cooperative partnerships across the EU and Mediterranean. Water-as-a-Service contracts deployed at scale with the AI monitoring network expanding across all nodes.

Up to 100 containers · EU + Mediterranean
2029–2034

Regional Infrastructure

In-house manufacturing in NL and Puglia. Institutional contracts with municipalities and water authorities. Subscription farms and EU environmental data services.

400–700+ containers · Western EU
2035+

Global Rollout

International replication via our India hub. Gulf region, Southeast Asia, Mediterranean islands. Digital twin monitoring and certified local operator networks worldwide.
