What Arva Greentech does

Arva Greentech AG is a Swiss-domiciled specialty chemicals company operating across Switzerland, Germany, the Sultanate of Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. Founded in 2016 (corporate filings show 2009 as an earlier inception date), the company develops and commercialises a patented two-component superoxidation process called Arvox, in which Arvox A and Arvox B generate superoxide radicals that degrade petroleum hydrocarbons and persistent organic pollutants into environmentally neutral end products (water, oxygen, sodium carbonate). The technology is protected through patents registered at the European Patent Office and WIPO, with a third application filed in 2026 covering soil cleaning optimisation.

The company monetises this core chemistry through three distinct routes. (1) Industrial soil and substrate remediation services under the Arvox SRT brand (split between ReGen, an Enhanced Natural Oxidation mode, and ReMove, an oil-recovery mode) delivered via project-based engagements, mobile treatment units, and a fixed treatment plant in Muscat, targeting national oil companies and government environmental authorities. Notable deployments include 1,000 tonnes of Oil-Based Mud (OBM) cuttings for Petroleum Development Oman (2023), a Dhofar coastal remediation project for the Environment Authority of the Sultanate of Oman covering ~25,000 bags of contaminated sand from a 2025 marine oil spill, and an emerging pipeline with BAPCO (10,000 tonnes) and Sharjah National Oil Company. (2) Professional surface cleaning products under the Arvox Pro sub-brand, distributed exclusively through authorised wholesale partners in Germany and broader Europe, encompassing Degreaser, Sunshade + Parasol, Cement Film Remover, and Stone + Concrete cleaners, all FiBL-certified and free from chlorine, solvents, and fragrances. (3) Consumer cleaning products under the Twin Power sub-brand for private household use, sold via a dedicated e-commerce site. A dedicated manufacturing and office site was opened in Berlin-Spandau in March 2025 to support the growing BU2 Surface Cleaning portfolio.

Arva's stated differentiators are (a) the global uniqueness of the Arvox process (no equivalent commercial chemical oxidation system), (b) up to 75% lower CO2 emissions versus thermal desorption and incineration, (c) peer-reviewed technical performance (>90% PCB degradation, 97% DDT degradation, up to 70% PFAS conversion in bench-scale tests), and (d) an AI-Powered Analytics Platform trained on over a decade of proprietary GC-MS data. The company holds ISO 14001 environmental management certification, has been awarded 'Green Innovator of the Year' (2023), and received an honorary award from the Environment Authority of the Sultanate of Oman in 2026. The firm employs approximately 30 staff across four offices and R&D facilities and operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany and Oman, with a regional coordination hub in Dubai for GCC operations.

Core offering

Arva Greentech develops and commercialises the patented Arvox superoxidation process, a two-component chemical oxidation reaction that decomposes petroleum hydrocarbons, oil-based mud cuttings, oil sludges, and persistent organic pollutants (including PFAS) into environmentally neutral end products (water, oxygen, sodium carbonate). It delivers this technology through three go-to-market brands: industrial Arvox SRT remediation projects (ReGen and ReMove modes) for oil & gas and government clients, the Arvox Pro professional surface cleaning product line sold via wholesale partners, and the Twin Power consumer cleaning line sold via direct e-commerce.

Product overview

Arva Greentech offers three distinct product brands built on its patented Arvox superoxidation technology platform: (1) Arvox SRT (Superoxidation Remediation Technology) for large-scale industrial remediation of contaminated soils, sands, oil-based mud cuttings, and oil sludges, available as ReGen (regenerative mode) and ReMove (oil recovery/removal mode), delivered via mobile or fixed treatment units; (2) Arvox Pro, a professional surface cleaning sub-brand for commercial cleaning companies, the hotel industry, and restaurant businesses, offering 2-component specialist cleaners including Degreaser, Sunshade + Parasol, Cement Film Remover, and Stone + Concrete; and (3) Twin Power, a consumer-facing sub-brand providing the same superoxidation technology for private household use, including a reusable spray head delivery system. The unified technology platform is a two-component superoxidation process (Arvox A and Arvox B) that generates active oxygen radicals to decompose petroleum hydrocarbons and organic pollutants into harmless, biodegradable end products.
