On world water day, Giulio Cesareo, chief executive of Directa Plus Plc (LON:DCTA), tells Proactive why Grafysorber, a graphene-based product for treating oil-contaminants, is a ground-breaking product.

Directa Plus will work with Italian firm Sartec to develop a commercial-scale industrial system based on the use of Grafysorber.

“The commercial agreement we signed yesterday is really significant, it’s the cornerstone of our efforts to grow Directa Plus,” said Cesareo. He added: “After eight months of intense testing with Sartec we are now talking about a strong commercial agreement.”
