Medical lab technician Jobs in North Vancouver, BC

Axine is an award-winning Canadian cleantech company headquartered in Vancouver, focused on solving some of the world’s most pressing water and environmental challenges.

Industrial manufacturing facilities worldwide generate billions of gallons of wastewater contaminated with toxic, non-biodegradable organic pollutants that are costly, difficult, and increasingly regulated to treat. Conventional solutions often fall short, forcing companies into expensive and high-risk disposal methods.

Axine was created to change this. Our proprietary electro-oxidation (EOx) technology destroys even the most complex organic pollutants—including emerging contaminants such as PFAS—with guaranteed performance. Delivered through a flexible, service-based model, our solutions offer superior performance and lower total cost compared to incumbent treatment approaches.

From concept to commercial deployment, Axine has scaled rapidly with multinational customers across pharmaceutical, chemical, and industrial markets. Backed by leading cleantech investors, the Canadian government, and a global partner network, we are now entering a phase of rapid growth. Powered by a highly skilled, entrepreneurial team, Axine is setting a new standard for industrial wastewater treatment.
