What Decent Holding does

Decent Holding Inc. is a Cayman Islands-incorporated holding company listed on NASDAQ under ticker DXST, conducting operations in China through its wholly-owned PRC subsidiary Shandong Dingxin Ecology Environmental Co., Ltd. (Decent China). The core business delivers three product lines: (1) industrial wastewater treatment services, with a differentiated system that recovers edible proteins and polysaccharides from protein-rich wastewater generated by the agri-food processing industry using centrifugal separation, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and spray drying; (2) river water quality management using proprietary microbial bacteria remediation technology to increase dissolved oxygen, transform anaerobic conditions to aerobic, and eliminate black odor water; and (3) microbial products including COD reducing bacteria, algae removal bacteria, ammonia nitrogen decreasing bacteria, and river conditioners. The IP portfolio includes 12 patents and 9 software copyrights, and the company is recognized as a Shandong Province High-Tech Enterprise.

The business model combines recurring B2B service contracts with industrial clients (food processors) and municipal water authorities (subscription-style engagement) with one-time microbial product sales. FY2025 revenue of $12.9 million (12.2% YoY growth) was driven by a 68.7% surge in wastewater treatment services to $4.2 million. Headcount is 11-50 employees. The company completed an $8 million registered offering in November 2025 and executed a 1-for-25 reverse stock split in March 2026 to maintain its Nasdaq listing. In March 2026, the company launched Suncare, an AI-powered digital health and community-based senior care platform through Suncare (Shanghai) Health Technology, targeting China's 297+ million population aged 60+ and addressing an estimated $4 trillion silver economy. In June 2026, the company entered a strategic cooperation agreement with Anhui Taihao Intelligent Technology to launch a Home and Community Embodied Robotics Real-World Training and Validation Infrastructure Network, leveraging an existing network of ~400 community service centers with plans to reach ~1,000 by end of 2026. The expansion into senior care and robotics represents a strategic pivot from the legacy environmental remediation business into adjacent platform plays centered on the community service center footprint.

Core offering

Decent Holding provides industrial wastewater treatment services, ecological river restoration and river ecosystem management, and microbial products for water quality enhancement and pollutant removal, delivered through its PRC operating subsidiary Shandong Dingxin Ecology Environmental Co., Ltd. The company also operates an emerging AI-powered community-based senior care platform (Suncare) targeting China's aging population through digital health monitoring, chronic disease management, smart care solutions, and rehabilitation services across a network of community service centers.

Product overview

Decent Holding operates as a dual-business company with two distinct product lines. The core environmental business includes wastewater treatment services (protein-rich wastewater treatment for the agri-food industry), river water quality management (microbial bacteria remediation for ecological restoration), and microbial products (COD reducing bacteria, algae removal bacteria, ammonia nitrogen decreasing bacteria, and river conditioner) used for water quality enhancement and pollutant removal. The newer strategic initiative is the Suncare AI-powered senior care platform through its subsidiary Suncare (Shanghai) Health Technology, providing community-based healthcare, chronic disease management, and elder care services targeting China's aging population. Additionally, the company is developing a home and community embodied robotics network in partnership with Taihao Robotics for healthcare robots and smart caregiving systems.
