Published 2 Dec 2022; updated 21 Sep 2026. Sorbfloc is presented as a non-toxic, biodegradable biopolymer flocculant intended to replace synthetic polymers such as polyacrylamide in wastewater treatment. It binds organic and inorganic particles into larger clumps for removal. The process uses a small amount of non-toxic cross-binder; Sorbwater offers aluminium- or iron-based binders and help with mixing and dosing. Uses listed include municipal and grey water, tank-wash water, industrial wastewater and land-based aquaculture; the article says treated aquaculture water can be released to the sea without harming marine life.
The article says plants using synthetic polymers can switch without new treatment systems or hardware. It also describes potential sludge reuse as fertiliser or animal feed and frames this as circular-economy value. The problem section cites untreated wastewater and possible environmental concerns about persistent synthetic polymers. It states Sorbfloc was being used in the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and the US, with expansion plans for other European markets, the Middle East and South America. Its market section gives a USD 22 billion wastewater-treatment-chemicals market and a USD 35 billion forecast by 2023; that forecast date is already past and is retained here as an article claim, not a current estimate. Listed SDGs: Clean water and sanitation; Responsible consumption and production.
