About PHANTOM
The Team Behind the Technology
PHANTOM was developed by a specialist team in Japan with deep roots in industrial thermodynamics, circular economy strategy, and sustainable waste infrastructure. Every system we build is backed by decades of combined expertise across engineering, commercial deployment, and environmental regulation.
Origin & Expertise
Developed in Japan. Built for Global Scale.
The PHANTOM system originates from Japan — a country with some of the world's most rigorous industrial waste regulations and a culture of precision engineering. Our technical team draws on decades of applied research in subcritical water chemistry, high-pressure reactor design, and organic polymer degradation.
This foundation of deep technical knowledge is what enables PHANTOM to deliver what others cannot: a closed-loop waste treatment process with zero dioxin emissions, validated sterilisation, and commercially valuable outputs — all in a single 30-minute cycle.

Our Team
The Specialists Behind PHANTOM
A focused team of engineers, strategists, and communications experts — each bringing deep domain knowledge to every client engagement.
Strategic & Commercial Lead
Avery
Avery bridges complex waste treatment technology with commercial outcomes. With a background in industrial investment and sustainability strategy, Avery leads client-facing engagements — from initial feasibility assessments through to full procurement support. Specialises in building the business case for ESG-driven capital expenditure in waste infrastructure. Based in London.
Lead Process Engineer
Tanaka
Tanaka leads all technical development and process engineering for the PHANTOM system. With deep expertise in subcritical water chemistry and high-pressure thermal systems, Tanaka oversees reactor design, process optimisation, and the validation protocols that underpin PHANTOM's >99.9% pathogen kill rate certification. Based in Japan.
Marketing & Public Relations
Ren
Ren shapes PHANTOM's presence across regulated and sustainability-focused markets. With expertise in environmental communications and Zero Waste to Landfill accreditation, Ren ensures PHANTOM's technology reaches the decision-makers who need it most — hospital procurement, agricultural operators, and industrial sustainability leads. Based in United Kingdom.
Why It Matters
Deep Expertise, Not Just Equipment
Every PHANTOM client engagement starts with a detailed input assessment — analysing waste stream composition, throughput requirements, regulatory context, and output markets. We don't just sell equipment; we design complete waste treatment solutions and support our clients through regulatory approval, staff training, and ongoing optimisation.
