Tacoma Maritime Innovation Incubator
Below are the Tacoma Maritime Innovation Incubator companies currently bettering our community, our waterways, and our future.
Aquagga
Mission: PFAS – For over sixty years, our drinking water supplies have been slowly poisoned with toxic ‘forever chemicals,’ also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). 99% of Americans, including newborn babies, have detectable levels of PFAS in their blood. These chemicals cause kidney, liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer, endocrine disruption and developmental issues. As the nation opens its eyes to the irreparable damage done by these ‘forever chemicals,’ we see an opportunity to right the mistakes of the past.
Aquagga offers end-of-life PFAS destruction solutions for environmental remediation firms, industrial filtration companies, solid waste managers, and environmental site managers. Their patented, portable, bolt-on PFAS destruction platform produces no toxic byproducts. Their mission is to permanently end PFAS contamination in our shared environment.
