WINTER PARK, Fla. - s4story -- Impact Filtration^®, a US-based leader in advanced, sustainable solutions for water infrastructure, filtration, and non-metallic applications, today announced the appointment of Alejandro Sturniolo as Head of Sustainability. The appointment marks a pivotal step in the company's strategic evolution — from a high-quality component supplier to an Infrastructure Architect, designing the foundational systems of modern water plants built from the ground up to achieve Water-Positive outcomes on a global scale.

The move is based on a core idea that Impact Filtration has built its engineering philosophy around: that infrastructure designed to last is also built sustainably. The company's products, including FRP pressure vessels, modular rack systems, and advanced cartridge filtration, used by leading global water utilities and infrastructure developers across desalination, industrial, and municipal projects, have consistently demonstrated that longer asset life reduces embodied carbon, cuts material waste, and lowers total ownership costs. In this view, sustainability is an engineering result, not just a statement.

Sturniolo brings more than 25 years of deep expertise in the water sector, spanning nature-based solutions, impact investing, and sustainability risk management. Most recently, Head of Sustainability Strategy at Aqua Positive, he has spent his career at the precise intersection where water innovation meets measurable environmental progress — contributing to landmark milestones in reverse osmosis energy recovery, large-scale modular system design, and advanced membrane technology. His conviction has always been consistent: real change is engineered, not announced.

Our vision is to establish global benchmarks for high-performance water infrastructure, setting the standard for resilience through material science and engineering excellence. Ale has spent 25 years demonstrating that sustainability and engineering performance are interconnected decisions. That is precisely the foundation this role is built on, and we are proud to have him lead it.

But beyond the expertise, Alejandro brings something rarer. His journey in this industry has revealed a person of uncommon selflessness and deep principle. Many people have skills and experience. Very few have the heart to match. He is one of them — and that is what makes this team genuinely different.

— Hattie Wang, CEO, Impact Filtration

At the core of Sturniolo's mandate is a material whose environmental case has been consistently underestimated. FRP — fiberglass-reinforced plastic — outperforms steel, aluminum, and concrete across critical infrastructure metrics and, unlike those materials, offers end-of-life pathways grounded in established composite science: co-processing in cement kilns and physical recycling as construction filler, both validated alternatives to landfill and both gaining momentum under evolving global regulatory frameworks. Over a service life engineered to span three decades, the ecological advantages compound. Sturniolo's role is to make that case with precision and at scale.

"For years, the industry tried to standardize processes. The real unlock is standardizing the build, with one additional variable that now matters everywhere: environmental footprint. At Impact Filtration, engineering integrity is already in place. The lifecycle thinking is already there. My job is to make sure the world understands what that means — and holds us to it."

— Alejandro Sturniolo, Head of Sustainability, Impact Filtration

The appointment arrives as Impact Filtration deepens its position as the exclusive authorized ROPV sales representative outside China — a product line representing approximately 85% market share in the world's most recognized FRP pressure vessel category — and expands its reach through strategic alignment with the CNBM Advanced Materials Division, one of the world's largest industrial conglomerates. The company's ambition extends beyond product delivery: to use its industry voice to establish Water-Positive standards, and to provide the engineered infrastructure that meets them. The goal, as Impact Filtration's leadership frames it, is not to follow the benchmark — but to become it.
